Nigeria’s domestic refineries take delivery of less crude than producers initially offer under the Domestic Crude Supply Obligation in the first quarter of 2026, according to data cited from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC). One report says producers offered 68.7 million barrels in Q1, but local refiners lifted 28.5 million barrels. Another outlet reports that producers offered 61.9 million barrels (or barrels allocated under the scheme), while only 28.5 million barrels reached refineries during the same period. Both accounts point to persistent supply constraints that limit actual deliveries, with Premium Times linking the shortfall largely to pricing disputes. Together, the figures indicate that a substantial share of the crude volumes made available in Q1 does not end up at domestic refining facilities. The reported gap suggests ongoing difficulties in aligning producer supply, pricing terms, and refinery liftings, affecting the effectiveness of the domestic crude supply arrangement in the quarter reviewed.
