Out of the four OIl & gas companies, Aradel Holdings emerged as the only company with increase in profit.
The Nigerian oil and gas sector in 2025 was marked by significant progress and challenges. The government has introduced reforms to enhance the sector's performance, aiming to increase oil production by one million barrels per day and diversify the energy mix.
With the Dangote Petroleum Refinery ramping production, reducing reliance on imported refined products, this led to price competition that affected specifically Conoil and Totalenergies Marketing Nigeria.
During the period under review, Totalenergies Marketing Nigeria posted N767.6 billion revenue, about 26 per cent drop from N1.9 trillion reported in 2024, while Conoil announced N301.72 billion revenue, a drop of 6.6 per cent from N323.13billion in 2024.
According to Totalenergies Marketing Nigeria, white products revenue relating to the sale of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), Automotive Gasoline Oil (AGO) and Aviation Turbine Kerosene (ATK) stood at N529.49 billion in 2025, about 36 per cent drop from N830.5billion in 2024, while revenue from lubricants,among others closed 2025 at N238.14 billion, a growth of 12.6 per cent from N211.43billion in 2024.
For Oando, the indigenous oil & gas company posted N3.2 trillion revenue in 2025, down by 21.4 per cent from N4.09trillion declared in 2024.
Oando's management stated that its revenue declined reflected lower trading volumes following a deliberate rebalancing of the Trading Division's portfolio amid structural changes in the domestic downstream market.
"This was partly offset by stronger upstream contributions, supported by higher production volumes following the consolidation of the NAOC JV interests," the company explained.
However, Aradel Holdings declared a revenue of N697.3billion, an increase of nearly 20 per cent from N581.15billion declared in 2024.
