New Directive from NUPRC: oil producers should prioritize local refineries for oil produce
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Finally, some progress! Nigeria has been working to improve its national economy, by implementing series of actions that have drawn both praise and criticism from observers.

One of the most important aspects of Nigeria’s national economy that has been neglected in the past is its oil production. Nigeria, as one of the largest producers of crude oil in Africa, has historically struggled with the inability to refine its own crude oil. However, significant steps have been taken at the start of the year to address this issue.

The operation of locally owned refineries in Nigeria and across West Africa is seen as a significant boost to the economy. However, these refineries have faced challenges due to oil producers preferring to export crude oil for foreign currency instead of supplying local refineries for exchange in a weaker local currency.

To address this challenge, the Nigerian Upstream Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has issued a new directive mandating that oil producers in the country must prioritize selling crude to domestic refineries before meeting foreign demands.

According to a report on Bloomberg, the new regulations stipulate that all oil firms in the country must supply crude to domestic refiners that cannot independently source supplies locally.

The NUPRC will serve as an intermediary between local refiners and producers, facilitating purchase agreements through a willing buyer, willing seller model in cases where a deal cannot be reached on crude supply.

The regulator aims to implement the domestic crude oil supply obligation measure in the second half of the year. However, the specific volume each refinery will need to procure has not yet been determined.

In addition to the 650,000-barrels-a-day Dangote Refinery, Nigeria boasts at least five operational modular refineries producing diesel and kerosene, along with the state-owned Port Harcourt refinery, expected to come online this year.

The new directive by the NUPRC has been widely embraced and praised as a pivotal step towards economic transformation. These decisive actions mark progress towards building a nation to be proud of.

Nigerians can expect a boost in their local economy as increased production of fuel and other petroleum products influences prices and reduces reliance on imports, thereby enhancing economic stability.

In summary, this directive represents a well-received response to the needs of Nigeria’s economy.
