What NNPC is saying
The nation’s oil and gas production structure is majorly split between the JV (onshore and in shallow waters) and the Production Sharing Contracts in deepwater offshore.
Under the JV arrangement, both the NNPC and the private firms contribute to the funding of operations in the proportion of their equity holdings and generally receive the produced crude oil in the same ratio.
Total export crude oil and gas receipt for the period January 2020 to January 2021 stood at $2.73 billion; out of which the sum of $1.58 billion was transferred to JV Cash Call as first line charge and the balance of $1.15 billion was paid into Federation Account.
Proceeds from the sale of domestic crude oil and gas rose to N168.32 billion in January from N136.25 billion in December, out of which N52.86 billion was transferred to the JVCR.
In January 2021, NNPC remitted the sum of N163.63 billion to the Federation Account Allocation Committee. From January 2020 to January 2021, total NNPC remittances to FAAC is N2.10 trillion; out of which Federation and JV with government priority projects received the sum of N850.63 billion and N1.04 trillion respectively.
