Nigeria’s upstream petroleum regulator has revealed that domestic crude supply rules achieved 97.4% compliance in the second quarter of 2026, with local refineries receiving 53.7 million barrels of crude and condensate. Producers supplied the volume between April and June against an allocation of 55.1 million barrels. The regulator attributed the strong performance to higher domestic oil production and longer-term supply agreements between producers and refiners. Dangote refinery accounted for the largest share of demand, requiring 63 million barrels during the quarter. Although producers offered the refinery 68.1 million barrels under the Domestic Crude Supply Obligation, Dangote accepted only 52.6 million barrels—about 78% of what was offered. The figures point to progress in directing Nigerian crude toward domestic processing.
