India has taken over from the US as the largest importer of Nigerian oil, the West African state’s national oil company has said.<\/p>\n

The US has “drastically reduced” its demand for Nigeria’s crude oil in recent months, the Nigerian National Oil Corporation said.<\/p>\n

The country is currently buying about 250,000 barrels a day.<\/p>\n

India now buys considerably more – about 30% of the country’s 2.5 million barrels of production.<\/p>\n

US demand for imported oil has fallen sharply because of increasing domestic shale gas and oil production – so much so that the International Energy Agency and oil giant BP both forecast that the country will be largely energy independent by 2035.<\/p>\n
