The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has signed a Petroleum Exploration Licence (PEL) No. 5 agreement with SeaSeisGeophysical Limited, paving the way for a major offshore data acquisition project aimed at boosting oil and gas exploration.
The agreement, executed in Abuja, authorises SeaSeis, in partnership with global data firm TGS, to undertake the acquisition and processing of new 3D seismic and gravity data.
The PEL 5 project spans approximately 11,700 square kilometres offshore the Eastern Niger Delta, covering water depths ranging from 400 to 2,800 metres.
The initiative is expected to enhance subsurface understanding, improve prospectivity, and support more efficient development of Nigeria’s hydrocarbon resources, in line with provisions of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) 2021.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, the chief executive of NUPRC, Mrs Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan, said the licence underscores the commission’s commitment to data-driven exploration, transparency, and long-term value creation for the country’s oil and gas industry.
She noted that the project would provide critical geological data needed to attract investment and unlock new opportunities in Nigeria’s upstream sector.
In his remarks, the Managing Director of SeaSeisGeophysical Limited, Mr Goke Adeniyi, described the PEL 5 project as the company’s largest in Africa, highlighting the vast potential within Nigeria’s offshore energy landscape.
The partnership is expected to strengthen collaboration between regulators and industry players while advancing efforts to optimise resource development and sustain growth in the sector.
Recall that the upstream oil sector regulator is slashing the time it takes to approve applications to revive idle oil wells from weeks to hours as Nigeria, which is Africa’s top crude producer, seeks to take advantage of high energy prices triggered by the conflict in the Middle East.
The country is also fast-tracking approvals for evacuations and barges at production facilities and export terminals to let barrels get to buyers quickly, as buyers turn to suppliers such as Nigeria and Angola on the African continent.

There are indications of a possible fuel shortage in Nigeria as the 650,000 barrels per day Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals, which is responsible for over 60 per cent of domestic supply, is now getting only about 40 per cent of local feedstock.
According to the chief executive of Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals, Mr David Bird, the refinery currently gets only about five cargoes of crude monthly, against an expected 13 to 15 cargoes.
He explained that this was below its agreed crude oil supply under the Federal Government’s crude-for-Naira arrangement.
According to him, the shortfall has affected the refinery’s ability to optimise local crude supply despite existing agreements being fully met.
“What we see under that agreement, we should be getting about 13 to 15 cargoes a month. And that’s what we could process to meet the domestic fuel requirements of Nigeria.
“Currently, we’re only getting five. So, that’s an underperformance against that pre-agreed volume contract.”
Mr Bird stated that the crude-for-Naira policy was designed to stabilise Nigeria’s foreign exchange market rather than provide financial advantages to the refinery, adding that the company still purchases crude at international benchmark prices.
He explained that the shortfall had caused the refinery to source preferred Nigerian crude grades from the international market at higher costs.
“And that value between the purchase price and the premium that we’re now seeing is money that Nigeria is leaking to the international trading community,” he said.
Last year alone, Dangote Petroleum Refinery imported a total of $3.74 billion worth of crude oil to make up for shortfalls
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC), which is the refinery’s main trade partner and minority stakeholder, has been plagued by challenges that restrict optimal crude supply, so the Lagos-based company has to get feedstock from alternative supply links. This led to the importation of crude from Brazil, Equatorial Guinea, Angola, Algeria, and the US, among others.
For instance, in March 2025, the company said it now counts Brazil and Equatorial Guinea among its global oil suppliers, receiving up to 1 million barrels of the medium-sweet grade Tupi crude at the refinery on March 26 from Brazil’s Petrobras.
While Nigeria has so far been insulated from shortages that have plagued countries in South Asia and some parts of Europe, disruptions to trade triggered by the Middle East war may constrain flows, leading to higher prices, even for countries not directly affected.
