NUPRC Reports: Nigeria’s Gas Production Hits Daily Average Of 7.59bscf

The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) says Nigeria gas flaring has fallen to 7.16 per cent in July 2025, while daily gas production rose to 7.59 billion standard cubic feet per day (BSCFD).

The NUPRC, in its Gas Production Status Report for July 2025, released on Saturday said this marked an 8.58 per cent increase compared to the 6.99 BSCFD recorded in the full year of 2024.

According to the report, the simultaneous growth in output and decline in flaring underscores the Commission’s drive to boost production while advancing its 2030 zero-flare commitment.

The report stated that Nigeria’s gas industry had sustained steady growth over the past three years, with daily average production hitting 7.59 BSCFD in July 2025.

“The 7.59 BSCFD daily average also represents a 9.84 per cent increase from the 6.91 BSCFD posted in the full year of 2023, which shows a sustained rise in gas production,” it said.

It said in spite of an increase in production, there was a continued reduction in gas flaring.

This, it said fell to 7.16 per cent in July 2025, down from 7.55 per cent in 2024 and 7.38 per cent in the corresponding period of 2023.

It sated that the reduction in gas flare was recorded in spite of the steady increase in gas production which reflected the Commission’s commitment to end routine gas flaring by 2030.

“The Commission has embarked on gas reduction programmes like the Nigerian Gas Flare Commercialisation Programme (NGFCP).

“Other initiatives include developing a Decarbonisation and Sustainability Blueprint, promoting Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), and integrating sustainability into project planning through the Upstream Petroleum Decarbonisation Template (UPDT), Hit. Read. . More.  —  To Uncover Full News
