Nigeria: Nigerian oil output and Brent prices rise in September

Brent prices averaged USD 92.67 per barrel in September, up 8.8% from August’s price and 2.3% higher year on year. Meanwhile, on 29 September, Brent traded at USD 95.41 per barrel, 9.8% higher month on month. The rally was driven by lower global supply prospects amid persistent output cuts by Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Turning to production, Nigerian oil output rose to 1.39 million barrels per day (mbpd) in September from August’s 1.25 mbpd.

Oil output is forecast to increase in 2024 for the second consecutive year on the back of increased security in the Niger Delta. Higher crude output will translate into much-needed fuel supplies for the country as the Dangote Refinery ramps up production. Renewed turmoil in the Niger Delta remains a key downside risk to the outlook.
