Federal Government considers changes to crude allocation and pricing under the Domestic Crude Supply Obligation. Nigeria supplied 28.5 million barrels to domestic refineries in Q1, less than half the 61.9 million barrels allocated. However, producer compliance with the domestic crude supply framework improved significantly during the period. For producers, a more efficient supply mechanism could reduce logistical complications while providing a clearer framework for meeting their domestic supply obligations. It raises the broader question of whether Nigeria’s crude supply framework can efficiently connect domestic crude production with the country’s expanding refining capacity.
