To prevent oil theft and limit the export of stolen crude oil, the Nigerian Upstream Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has implemented an Advanced Cargo Declaration system in upstream petroleum operations.
The NUPRC’s Commission Chief Executive, Gbenga Komolafe, announced this most recent intervention on Thursday in Lagos at the Association of Energy Correspondents of Nigeria’s (NAEC) annual International Strategic Conference 2023.

”Nigeria’s Energy Transition: Enhancing Investment Opportunities and Addressing Challenges in the Oil and Gas Sector” is the conference’s theme.
Komolafe stated that the project intends to ensure that crude oil and gas cargoes exported from Nigeria have a unique identity that confirms all documents with reference to the exported consignment.
He was represented by Abel Nsa, Head of the National Oil and Gas Excellence Centre (NOGEC) Department, NUPRC.
‘‘This implies that any cargo without the unique identifier becomes tagged as illegitimate.
