Engr Gbenga Komolafe, Chief Executive of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, has hinted that the country’s potential in traditional hydrocarbon resources, green and blue hydrogen, solar, wind, biomass, and other renewable energy sources is crucial for its sustainable energy future.

 
 
Engr Komolafe made this known in his speech delivered at the 8th Sub-Saharan Africa International Petroleum, Exhibition and Conference (SAIPEC) in Lagos, on Tuesday.
According to him, Nigeria’s potential goes beyond traditional hydrocarbon resources and is crucial to the country’s sustainable energy development.
He further emphasised that Nigeria has the potential to produce 2.2 million bpd above its current production of between 1.5 million and 1.6 million.

The NUPRC’s boss said, “Although the actual national production currently averages 1.33 million barrels of oil per day and 256 thousand barrels of condensate per day.“The national technical production potential currently stands at 2.26 million bpd, and the current OPEC quota is 1.5 million bpd.

 

“Thus, the Commission is taking strategic measures to arrest some challenges confronting us in order to boost production and meet the potential,” Komolafe said.

Speaking in the wake of COP28, where discussions on the fossil fuel phase out clashed with OPEC’s call for a balanced transition, Komolafe emphasized Nigeria’s commitment to aligning its energy transition with regional circumstances and economic goals.
He referenced President Bola Tinubu’s address at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2023, echoing Nigeria’s dedication to the cause.

The NUPRC Boss stressed the importance of ensuring energy justice, equity, and sustainability as Nigeria and other resource rich economies navigate this evolving landscape.

He highlighted that the Petroleum Industry Act, 2021 (PIA), is a cornerstone initiative aimed at promoting transparency, efficiency, and innovation for sustainable development.

Discussing strategic measures to boost production, Komolafe further outlined Nigeria’s efforts to enhance production and tap into its full potential despite challenges.

These initiatives, according to him, includes, transparency improvements, collaborative programme administration, accelerated field developments, optimized production, and the adoption of enhanced Oil recovery technologies.
