Nigeria daily oil production hits 2.3 mbpd – NNPC GMD
The Group Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation , Maikanti Baru, says the country’s daily oil production is currently 2.32million barrel per day.
According to him, the stability and ability to push production has come as a consequence of several factors, both internally, externally and also with the help of the media. “Overall production of the NPDC, we are able to maintain it at close to 300,000 barrels per day. It is quite a significant boost,” he added.
“Our drive for transparency has also produced a lot of fruits. We have been able to attract Foreign Direct Investments , into the oil and gas industry, and in 2017 alone, we have attracted about 3.6 billion dollars. “We think maybe by next week, we will be able to hit the TD of 14,250 feet. The TD is not sacrosanct. If we find that there are interesting signs beyond the TD, the rig has a capability of 20,000 feet.
He urged the media to continue to support efforts that would help to protect oil infrastructure in the country.
