据12月13日The Punch报道，今年第三季度，尼日利亚的原油出口量增加了一倍以上，至2.42万亿奈拉。此前数月，尼日利亚在需求暴跌的情况下苦苦寻找买家。
该国国家统计局(National Bureau of Statistics)的数据显示，第三季度原油出口总值同比增长56%，但价值同比下降35.3%。主要出口仍是原油，价值24248亿奈拉，占总出口的81.02%;非原油产品价值5682亿奈拉，占总出口的18.98%。”在本报告所述期间，尼日利亚向其最大出口市场欧洲出口的原油价值为1.03万亿奈拉。尼日利亚向亚洲出口了价值9105.8亿尼奈拉的石油，而其他非洲国家购买了价值3434.6亿奈拉的石油。
美国从尼日利亚进口了价值1111.6亿奈拉的原油，而对大洋洲的出口达298.2亿奈拉。8月有报道称，美国流入欧洲的原油数量增加，正威胁着该地区传统的轻质、低硫原油的供应，迫使尼日利亚和地中海原油的卖家对9月份装运的货物进行打折优惠。
标普全球援引交易员的话称，9月份从尼日利亚装运的现货两周多以来没有出现任何折扣活动。欧洲的潜在买家正在等待价格进一步下跌，这也让亚洲投资者对此不再感兴趣。
根据尼日利亚国家统计局的数据，2020年第三季度的日均石油产量为167万桶/天，比2020年第二季度的产量少了14万桶/天。

Nigeria’s Q3 oil exports rise by 56% to N2.42tn
Nigeria more than doubled its crude oil exports in the third quarter of this year to N2.42tn after months of struggling to find buyers amid the collapse in demand.
Crude oil exports grew in value by 56 per cent in the third quarter compared to the second quarter but decreased in value by 35.3 per cent year-on-year, according to data obtained from the National Bureau of Statistics.
“The predominant export remained crude oil, which was valued at N2,424.8bn, representing 81.02 per cent of total exports while non-crude oil was valued at N568.2bn, or 18.98 per cent of total export during the review period,” the NBS said.
Nigeria’s crude oil valued at N1.03tn was exported to Europe, the country’s biggest export market, in the period under review.
The country exported oil worth N910.58bn to Asia while other African countries bought Nigerian oil valued at N343.46bn.
America imported N111.16bn worth of Nigerian crude while export to Oceania was valued at N29.82bn.
It was reported in August that the increasing flow of the United States crude into Europe was threatening to displace the region’s traditional light, sweet crudes, forcing sellers of Nigerian and Mediterranean crudes to discount September-loading cargoes.
S&P Global Platts quoted traders as saying that the spot market for September-loading cargoes from Nigeria had not seen any activity for more than two weeks.
They said would-be buyers in Europe were waiting for offers to fall further, reassured also by the absence of Asian interest.
The average daily oil production recorded in Q3 2020 stood at 1.67 million barrels per day, 0.14mbpd lower than production volume recorded in Q2 2020, according to the NBS.
