Numbers from the recent production output have retained Nigeria’s position as Africa’s leading oil producer. The figures, however. have failed to enable it hit the 1.69 million BPD target projected in the 2023 budget.
With the crude oil price hovering at $74.89/barrel in June 2023, and the total output which stood at 37,468,798 during the same period, Nigeria raked in about $2.81 billion from sales of the commodity.
When the amount is converted to Naira using the average exchange rate of ₦600.43/$, Nigeria’s oil earnings in June were about ₦1.68 trillion.
While analysing the production output figure, the Monthly Oil Market Report (MOMR) released by the international cartel also showed that although Nigeria’s production failed to hit the target of 1.742 million BPD set by the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) during the month under review, the output figure, however, exceeded output in May, which was put at 1.18 million BPD.
