Nigeria produced about 307 million barrels of crude oil and condensate between March and August 2026, the Nigerian Upstream Regulatory Commission said, according to Punch Nigeria. The supplied material does not distinguish between crude and condensate volumes or provide a monthly breakdown of production.

Nigeria produced approximately 307 million barrels of crude oil and condensate between March and August 2026, according to the Nigerian Upstream Regulatory Commission, as reported by Punch Nigeria. The figure covers the six-month period from March through August. It combines crude oil and condensate, but the supplied information does not say how much of the total came from either category.

No monthly production figures were provided, so the material does not show whether output rose or fell during the period. It also does not identify the fields, companies or regions contributing to the reported volume. The source material does not include the commission’s explanation for the production level, nor does it give a comparison with an earlier period.

It therefore cannot establish whether the six-month total represents an increase or a decline. The information identifies the NUPRC as the authority behind the figure and records the reported total, but provides no further details on exports, domestic supply or government revenue.
