  • What percentage of Nigeria’s oil fields are unproductive?
  • Most of Nigeria’s oil fields are small and scattered, and in 1990, these small unproductive fields accounted for 62.1% of all Nigerian production. This contrasts with the sixteen largest fields, which produced 37.9% of Nigeria’s petroleum at that time.
  • Which crude oil companies are in Nigeria?
  • The first in our list of crude oil companies in Nigeria is CNOOC Petroleum. It was formerly known as Nexen Inc. The company began in Canada in 1971. It has since grown to a major presence in West Africa. The first oil production by CNOOC in West Africa was in 2012. It is estimated that the company produces 20,000 barrels a day.
  • How much oil does Nigeria produce a day?
  • The petroleum industry accounts for about nine percent of Nigeria’s GDP and for almost 90 percent of all export value . At the beginning of 2021, the average daily oil production in Nigeria stood at 1.7 million barrels. In 2020, the production decreased due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the subsequent lower demand.
  • What type of oil does Nigeria produce?
  • Nigeria’s petroleum is classified mostly as "light" and "sweet", as the oil is largely free of sulfur. Nigeria is the largest producer of sweet oil in OPEC. This sweet oil is similar in composition to the petroleum extracted from the North Sea. This crude oil is known as "Bonny light".
