The regulator disclosed the figures in its December 2025 Crude Oil and Condensate Production Report, showing a drop from 1.698 million barrels per day recorded in November 2024.

The report also revealed a sharp month-on-month decline, as production fell from 1.698 million barrels per day in October 2025 to 1.599 million barrels per day in November.
