The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, has introduced the Production Monitoring Command Centre, PMCC, as a transformative step in hydrocarbon operations to boost oil production.
The Chief Corporate Communications Officer, NNPCL, Olufemi Soneye, in a statement said the PMCC aligned with President Bola Tinubu’s policy to increase efficiency and boost production in the industry.
Soneye said that the initiative, driven by NNPC Upstream Investment Management Services, NUIMS, builds on the success of the Command and Control Centre to enhance monitoring, operational efficiency, and production.
“The PMCC serves as a unified platform for monitoring hydrocarbon molecules from production to export terminals, covering Joint Ventures (JVs) and Production Sharing Contracts, PSCs.
“By consolidating real-time data from various operators, the PMCC provides a comprehensive overview of production activities. This ensures timely identification of anomalies, minimises unplanned disruptions, and supports seamless operational continuity.
“With advanced analytics and integrated data, the PMCC empowers stakeholders with actionable insights for proactive decision-making.
“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,” he said.
According to him, the PMCC promotes collaboration among stakeholders by providing a secure platform for data sharing and communication, fostering effective problem-solving and continuous improvement across the sector.
He added that the PMCC’s role in minimising downtime and optimising maintenance directly contributed to increased production and revenue.
The NNPCL Chief Corporate Communications Officer further stated that as the company continues its modernisation journey, the PMCC reflects its commitment to innovation and excellence in the oil and gas sector.
According to him, the initiative not only aligns with national goals but also strengthens Nigeria’s position in the global energy market, ensuring long-term growth and profitability for stakeholders.
