The Federal Government has begun reviewing applications from oil operators whose licences have expired, with the aim of extending their tenure and allowing them to retain control of assets beyond 2026. A source at the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) confirmed that companies have applied for extensions and that the applications are being reviewed as a normal practice. This move is expected to affect the oil and gas sector, potentially impacting asset ownership and operations.
