Nigeria’s Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) says at least 22
offshore projects are slated to enter production by 2030, representing potential
investment of up to $50.0 bln. The regulator, noting Nigeria is Africa’s largest
oil producer, said it has approved more than $57.0 bln of field‑development
plans since 2024. Planned investment is expected to raise oil and gas output,
expand infrastructure and bolster upstream investor appeal. NUPRC said new
blocks have been opened, with 37 blocks awarded to 31 companies in 2025 and a
2026 oil tender/licensing round being finalized. Nigeria aims to nearly double
daily oil output to about 3.0 mln bpd by 2030.
