PENGASSAN Backs NUPRC's Ambitious Oil Output Target

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has pledged its support for the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission's (NUPRC) goal to reach a 3 million barrels per day oil output by 2030.

According to PENGASSAN President Comrade Bosun Olabiyi-Agoro, the union will work closely with NUPRC to achieve this target. 'The president of Nigeria has an ambition which he runs through the CCE which is to make sure that by 2030 we are able to produce 3 million barrels per day,' he said.

NUPRC Chief Executive Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan expressed appreciation for PENGASSAN's support, noting that production had risen from a low of 1.1mmbopd a few years ago to an estimated 1.755mmbopd in 2026.

However, she emphasized the importance of industrial stability in achieving higher production targets, and called on PENGASSAN to work closely with NUPRC to actualize government objectives.
