Nigeria’s crude oil output increased by 252,800 barrels per day in January, up from the 1.697 million barrels per day it recorded in December to 1.949 million barrels per day.
This development has also boosted the total production of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in the month under review.
The price of Nigeria’s Bonny light however went down by $7.60 to $30.35 per barrel in January.
Specifically, total OPEC crude oil production in January averaged 32.33mbpd, representing an increase of 131tbpd over the previous month.
The cartel disclosed that crude oil output increased mostly from Nigeria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Iran, while production showed a decrease of from Angola, Venezuela and Algeria.
Besides, crude oil prices fell drastically again yesterday, after recording a slight increase for a few days.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) declined by 6.26 per cent to $27.94 while Brent crude oil dropped by $30.32 per barrel.

The price of OPEC basket of 13 crudes stood at $28.33 a barrel yesterday, compared with $29.00 the previous day.
It said that the drop in the price of OPEC basket came as oil market oversupply and the slowing Chinese economy continues and has been compounded by an unusual drop of seasonal heating demand amid a continuation of the previous month’s mild weather in key consuming regions.

It noted that the values of the West and Northern African light sweet Basket components − Saharan Blend, Es Sider, Girassol and Bonny Light − decreased in value by $7.60 to average $30.35 per barrel in January.
OPEC said that despite strong demand for light sweet crudes in Asia over the month amid robust refining margins, a higher supply of light sweet oil put pressure on the Malaysian crude premium, causing the Tapis-Dubai spread to narrow.

It noted that regional light sweet crude grades were supported last month by freight rates that were at the highest levels seen in years. But falling costs of sending tankers from the Middle East and West Africa to Asia put pressure on shorter-haul grades.
“Refining margins in the Singapore hub have averaged above $10/b most of the month, up from around $8.60/b the previous month. Demand for spot crude in the Asia-Pacific crude market was affected slightly as refiners prepared for spring maintenance even as profit margins remained robust. Meanwhile, the Middle East sour crude benchmark Dubai was somewhat supported by robust demand from Chinaoil in the Platts crude oil price assessment window, as it purchased 16 cargoes over the month. Light sweet Tapis premium over medium sour Dubai decreased by 90¢ to $6.30 per barrel”, it added.

At a point when crude oil price is falling, they keep increasing the number of barrels they are producing per day, leading to further drop in the international price of crude oil. That's what happens if the president had F9 in Economics because common sense taught in basic economics is "the higher the supply, the lower the price". How can you be disobeying economic law and expect economic turn around? How can you say you want to stabilize global oil price when you keep bombarding the market with higher barrels of oil. Ha, I tire for this country o.

Let us produce a single barrel then.

Boss13:


Unfortunately, it is you who is poorly knowledgable in Economics. Have you ever heard of OPEC before? Do you know that production quota is rationed amongst member countries of OPEC. Do you also know that reducing supply may reduce your market share? That is why Saudi Arabia is refusing to cut down on production quota. Are you also aware that there are other suppliers in the market apart from OPEC. The Oil industry is now a consumer market and no longer a suppliers' market, where suppliers such as OPEC can control the price of oil.

Finally to address your poorly informed brain cells, we have a minister of petroleum who is responsible for pursuing the country's interest. Kachikwu is a sound engineer and has the president's support even if as you said the President has F9 in Economics. The President is not expected to know everything.

Please stop being ignorant

This means this regime has lost more than 600,000 barrels pay day since inaaugration.

Nigeria was doing an average of 2.4 million barrels pay day under the last administration.

What we can't get through price can be compensated by quantity sold.
