Domestic crude oil and condensate supplies to Nigerian refineries reached 53.7 million barrels in the second quarter of 2026, representing 97.4 per cent of the volume allocated under the Domestic Crude Supply Obligation (DCSO), the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has said.

According to NUPRC’s Q2 2026 report, producers supplied above their monthly allocations in April and June but fell below the target in May.

The commission attributed the improved performance to increased domestic oil production and long-term crude supply agreements between producers and local refiners.

Monthly data showed that refiners received 20.88 million barrels in April, 14.23 million barrels in May and 18.61 million barrels in June.

The Dangote Refinery accounted for the largest share, accepting 52.6 million barrels from the 68.1 million barrels offered to it during the quarter.

NUPRC said the DCSO operates on a willing-buyer, willing-seller basis and is being enforced through monthly consultations between crude producers and licensed domestic refineries.

The commission said it would sustain enforcement of the obligation as part of efforts to boost domestic refining, improve energy security and achieve Nigeria’s energy sufficiency goals.
