The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has launched the Production Monitoring Command Centre (PMCC), a state-of-the-art initiative aimed at revolutionising hydrocarbon operations and increasing production.
Developed by NNPC Upstream Investment Management Services, the PMCC builds on the Command and Control Centre’s success to improve real-time monitoring, operational efficiency, and production output.
NNPCL’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, stated that the PMCC aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s policy to enhance efficiency and production in the oil and gas sector.
Soneye explained, “The PMCC provides a unified platform to monitor hydrocarbon molecules from production to export, consolidating data from Joint Ventures and Production Sharing Contracts. It ensures timely identification of anomalies, reduces disruptions, and supports proactive decision-making through advanced analytics.”
The PMCC’s predictive and preventive maintenance features optimise asset reliability, while its secure platform fosters collaboration among stakeholders, promoting continuous improvement.
Under NNPCL’s Mele Kyari, production has risen to 1.8 million barrels per day (bpd), with a target of 2 million bpd. The PMCC is instrumental in achieving this goal by minimising downtime and enhancing maintenance.
Operating 24/7 with cloud-based solutions, the PMCC also bolsters operational security via its connection to the Industry-Wide Security Command and Control Centre.
NNPCL’s commitment to innovation through initiatives like the PMCC strengthens Nigeria’s global energy market position and supports sustainable growth.
