The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited says six international oil companies (IOCs) will remit N442.37 billion in August as proceeds from the sale of domestic crude oil in May 2022. 

NNPC said this in its latest monthly presentation to the federation account allocation committee (FAAC) meeting in July.

The oil company said the amount was the cost of 8.887 million barrels of oil.

According to the report, the six joint venture (JV) partners include Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL), Mobil Producing Nigeria and Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC), the flagship upstream subsidiary of NNPC.

Others include Total Exploration and Production Nigeria, First Exploration and Production (First E&P), and Addax Petroleum.

“May 2022 domestic crude oil payable in August 2022 by NNPC in line with the 90 days payment terms,” the report said. 

Given the breakdown, the report added that Chevron would pay N162.24 billion for 3.49 million barrels of oil while Mobil would remit N90.06 billion for 1.9 million barrels of crude.

In July, the NNPC transitioned into a limited liability company, becoming profit-oriented and commercialised.

Regulated by the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA), the company is expected to make full financial disclosures.
