Nigeria, which again lost its Africa’s top oil producer status to Angola in
\nJanuary, has recorded further decline in its crude oil production, a new
\nreport from the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries has
\nindicated.<\/p>\n

OPEC, in its Monthly Oil Market Report for March 2017, put crude oil
\nproduction from Nigeria at 1.526 million barrels per day in February, down
\nfrom 1.533 million bpd in the previous month, based on direct
\ncommunication. Production from its southern African counterpart, Angola,
\nstood at 1.649 million bpd in February, up from the 1.615 million bpd
\nrecorded in January.<\/p>

OPEC, which uses secondary sources to monitor its oil output, but also
\npublishes a table of figures submitted by its member countries, said the
\ngroup’s total production in February averaged 31.96 million bpd, showing a
\ndecrease of 14,000 bpd over the previous month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
