The Commission Chief Executive of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan, yesterday identified infrastructure limitations and asset integrity concerns as two of the most significant challenges confronting Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.

However, despite these limitations, she stated that the commission was working assiduously to ensure Nigeria optimises crude production from its assets, further revealing that the country has the potential to produce 1.9 million barrels per day, having hit a peak production of 1.86 million bpd in May.
