The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has unveiled a new Production Monitoring Command Centre (PMCC) to enhance efficiency and production in hydrocarbon operations.
In a statement on Wednesday, Olufemi Soneye, NNPC’s spokesperson, explained that the initiative, spearheaded by NNPC Upstream Investment Management Services (NUIMS), builds on the success of the company’s command and control centre.
The NNPC said the PMCC aligned with President Bola Tinubu’s policy to boost efficiency and bolster production in the industry.
“The PMCC is a unified platform designed to monitor hydrocarbon production from source to export terminals, covering Joint Ventures (JVs) and Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs).”
By consolidating real-time data from various operators, NNPC said the PMCC provides a comprehensive overview of production activities.
NNPC added that the centre ensures the timely identification of anomalies, minimises unplanned disruptions and supports smooth operational continuity.
“With advanced analytics and integrated data, the PMCC empowers stakeholders with actionable insights for proactive decision-making,” NNPC said.
“This capability enhances planning, resource allocation, and risk management, enabling operators to meet production targets efficiently and maintain high operational standards.
“A standout feature of the PMCC is its support for predictive and preventive maintenance. By monitoring equipment performance and coordinating maintenance activities, the system ensures the reliability and longevity of assets.”
Additionally, the system , according to the company, promotes collaboration among stakeholders through secure data sharing and communication.
NNPC highlighted the PMCC’s role in driving Nigeria’s oil production increase to 1.8 million barrels per day (bpd), with a goal of reaching two million bpd under the leadership of Mele Kyari. The command centre’s integration with the Industry-Wide Security Command and Control Centre further strengthens security in production operations.
