Experts believed the growth in the reserves will help the country achieve its 2.06 million barrels per day set by the government.

To achieve this, the NUPRC has successfully opened up the country for investment with the successful bid rounds which would allow increased oil production.

NUPRC’s 2024 bid round saw 25 winners emerge after a competitive bidding process. Major winners included Petroli Energy Marketing & Supply Limited (PPL 269), Sahara Deepwater Resource Limited (PPLs 270 and 271), Panout Oil and Gas Limited (PPL 300/301-CS), and TotalEnergies E&P Nigeria (PPL 2000/2001).

The round focused on fallow assets and aimed to boost Nigeria’s energy production.
