The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) has welcomed the Federal Government’s signing of the Deep Offshore Oil and Gas Projects Incentives (Tax Remission) Order, 2026. This reform enhances Nigeria’s competitiveness for deep offshore investment and aims to achieve a production target of 3 million barrels of oil per day (MMbopd) by 2030.
The Order establishes a transparent and globally competitive fiscal framework for qualifying greenfield deep offshore developments, expected to unlock over $50 billion in new investments. Key projects include Bonga South-West, approved in March 2026, and the Zabazaba and Owowo Deep Offshore projects.

He noted that recent reforms have already stimulated over $34 billion in new investment commitments.
