The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) reported a substantial profit after tax of ₦502 billion for November 2025. This result was driven by higher gas output, full pipeline availability and other factors highlighted in the company’s monthly financial and operations report. In the same month, NNPC generated ₦4.36 trillion in revenue, a modest increase over the previous month, reflecting stronger gas production, a steady domestic fuel supply and sustained infrastructure uptime.
Gas production proved relatively resilient, reaching 6,968 million standard cubic feet per day in November, only slightly below the 6,997 million recorded in October. Crude oil and condensate output averaged 1.36 million barrels per day in November, a modest recovery from 1.30 million barrels per day in October. Although crude oil and condensate production declined, the company maintained its profitability streak thanks to gas sales, trading activities and improved infrastructure availability.
Statutory payments to the Federation Account rose to ₦12.12 trillion between January and October 2025, underscoring NNPC’s growing fiscal contribution to government revenues. The company attributed the subdued crude oil performance to ongoing repairs on the Forcados export line, a force‑majeure event at Egbema, and delays in achieving first oil from the West African Exploration Project. Nevertheless, partial recovery at some assets after earlier disruptions helped boost November’s production.
NNPC’s financial performance is notable in the current economic landscape. Its ability to sustain profitability despite operational challenges is a positive sign for Nigeria’s oil and gas sector. As the country navigates the complexities of the global energy market, industry stakeholders and analysts will closely monitor NNPC’s future plans and strategies, which will be crucial for its long‑term success and contribution to Nigeria’s economy.
