Nigeria Oil Industry News

The Nigerian Oil Industry is the mainstay of the country's economy, producing over 90% of of all foreign exchange revenue. Crude reserve estimates vary, but were estimated in 2005 to be about 35.3 billion barrels. New discoveries continue to push these estimates up yearly.

Commercial discoveries made by oil majors such as Shell, Exxon-Mobil and Texaco have also helped generate more interest in the region.

Most of Nigeria’s crude oil production, comprising 10 major crude streams (including condensate), is light sweet crude, API grades 21-45, with a low sulphur content. Nigeria's marker crudes on the International oil market are Bonny Light and Forcados.
