据今日油价网站10月8日消息 尼日利亚石油部长蒂米普里·西尔瓦本周表示，尼日利亚是非洲最大的石油生产国和出口国，希望其新通过的石油工业法能帮助其将石油产量提高310%，达到400万桶/日。
根据欧佩克最新官方数据，尼日利亚目前的日产量略低于130万桶。这个非洲欧佩克成员国是欧佩克产油国之一，近几个月来，由于向出口终端输送原油的管道出现不可抗力情况，该产油国一直在努力按照欧佩克+协议的配额输送尽可能多的石油。
部长西尔瓦在当地《石油时报》举行的能源会议上表示，《石油工业法》（PIA）于8月成为法律，该法将帮助尼日利亚实现日产400万桶的目标。
部长补充称，新法律还将允许该国将原油储量从370亿桶增加到400亿桶，并开采更多天然气，该国将天然气视为能源转型的关键燃料。
西尔瓦表示：“首先是对天然气的关注。对我们来说，天然气是能源转型的核心，是从石油转向可再生能源的第一步。我们已经宣布天然气是我们的转型燃料，也是一种目标燃料，因为我们预计到2050年天然气将成为我们能源结构的一部分，因为我们拥有大量的能源，而这些能源将用于石油一种可以商业化和利用的方法。”
8月中旬，尼日利亚总统穆罕默杜·布哈里签署了该国新通过的石油法案，这标志着非洲石油生产国20年的努力结束。尼日利亚表示，新的石油法旨在吸引更多的外国资本进入该国的石油行业。该法案花了20年时间才最终敲定，并希望在尼日利亚寻求吸引新的石油和天然气投资之际，彻底改变尼日利亚与国际石油公司分享石油资源的方式。

Nigeria Looks To Boost Oil Production By 310% To 4 Million Bpd
Nigeria, the largest oil producer and exporter in Africa, hopes that its newly adopted petroleum industry law will help it hike its oil production by 310 percent to 4 million barrels per day (bpd), Nigerian Petroleum Minister Timipre Sylva said this week.
Nigeria currently produces just below 1.3 million bpd, as per OPEC's latest official data. The African OPEC member is align="justify"> The Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), which became law in August, will help Nigeria achieve its target to pump 4 million bpd, minister Sylva said at an energy conference, as carried by local outlet Premium Times.
The new law will also allow the country to increase its crude oil reserves from 37 billion barrels to 40 billion barrels, and to extract more gas, which it sees as a key fuel in the energy transition, the minister added.
"First is the Focus align="justify"> In the middle of August, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari signed the country's newly passed petroleum bill into law, marking the end of 20 years of efforts at Africa's top oil producer to overhaul its oil industry. The new petroleum act aims to attract more foreign capital to the country's oil sector, Nigeria says. The bill took two decades to be finalized, and hopes to overhaul the way Nigeria will share its oil resources with international oil companies as the country looks to attract new investment in oil and gas.
