Nigeria's ambition to achieve a daily oil production target of three million barrels per day (3mbpd) and finance its N49.7 trillion budget hinges on securing Final Investment Decisions (FIDs) and protecting oil assets from threats, industry experts have noted. The government's strategy involves ramping up exploration and development activities, with a focus on stabilizing production levels across key oil fields.

The Ministry of Petroleum Resources has emphasized the critical role of attracting foreign investments to achieve these objectives. New FIDs are expected to unlock untapped resources and bolster output, aligning with the government's commitment to economic diversification and increased revenue generation.

Additionally, securing oil assets remains a top priority, particularly in the Niger Delta region, where theft and vandalism have historically disrupted production. Collaborative efforts involving security agencies, host communities, and oil companies aim to address these challenges and create a conducive environment for sustained operations.

The government has also highlighted the importance of leveraging technology and innovation to enhance efficiency in oil exploration and production. These measures are expected to not only boost output but also position Nigeria as a competitive player in the global energy market.

As the country navigates the complexities of the global energy transition, achieving its 3mbpd target will require a delicate balance between fostering investment, ensuring security, and meeting environmental sustainability goals.
