Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(SBU) Alhaji Jafaru Paki, Special Assistant to the President on Petroleum, confirmed to Energy Off on 14 December that the GON intends to abide by OPEC's request to "maintain discipline" with respect to OPEC quotas. Paki demurred from characterizing this as a "production cut." However, complying with the current OPEC production ceiling of 2.224 million barrels/day will entail a reduction of between 150,000 and 200,000 barrels/day. Major energy firms contacted by Energy Off had not yet received instructions from the GON or the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to reduce production. BROWNE
