NNPC targets 2.2m bpd oil output in 2023

Nigeria’s oil production could hit 2.2 million barrels per day in 2023, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has said.

The company’s chief executive officer, Mele Kyari, disclosed this while speaking at the 13th global UAE virtual energy forum on Wednesday.

In recent months, Nigeria has failed to meet the OPEC production quota as it struggles to combat oil theft which has affected production output.
