Nigeria’s Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) says crude oil and condensate supply to local refineries increases sharply in the second quarter of 2026. The regulator reports that 53.7 million barrels are supplied between April and June 2026 under the Domestic Crude Supply Obligation (DCSO), up from 28.5 million barrels in the first quarter.
Premium Times and Vanguard both cite NUPRC’s Q2 2026 statistics. Premium Times adds that the supply figure reflects 97.4% compliance with the DCSO for the quarter. Vanguard focuses more on the quarter-on-quarter change, describing the 88.4% rise in crude and condensate supply. The outlets largely align on the key volume, the quarter referenced, and that the data come from NUPRC’s official reporting.
Across the two articles, the primary differences are emphasis: Vanguard highlights the growth rate from Q1 to Q2, while Premium Times emphasizes compliance performance for the same reporting period.
