Seplat Energy Plc, a Nigerian independent energy company listed on the Nigerian Exchange Limited and the London Stock Exchange, has commenced gas production from its 300 MMcfd ANOH gas project.
The project began supplying gas to Indorama Petrochemical Plant following the completion of an 11km Indorama gas export pipeline and receipt of regulatory approval from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission on 16 January 2026. Four upstream wells, on standby since November 2025, were brought online to facilitate the gas flow.
Since the first gas, wet gas production has stabilised at 40-52 MMscfd, while condensate production has reached 2.0-2.5 kboepd, with expectations to increase as the plant ramps up to its design capacity of 300 MMcfd. Preparations are also underway to sell processed gas to Nigeria LNG on an interruptible offtake basis.
“Seplat Energy Plc is pleased to announce that the 300 MMcfd ANOH gas project has achieved first gas. Since the first gas, wet gas production has been stabilising, delivering 40-52 MMscfd of processed gas directly from the ANOH gas plant to the Indorama Petrochemical Plant. Condensate production has reached 2.0-2.5 kboepd and is expected to increase with gas production as the plant ramps up to design capacity,” the notice partly reads.
The ANOH gas plant, a joint venture between Seplat Energy and Nigerian Gas Infrastructure Company, consists of two 150 MMscfd gas processing units, LPG recovery and condensate stabilisation units, a 16MW power plant, and supporting facilities. The plant operates with zero routine flares and is part of Seplat’s strategy to achieve its onshore End of Routine Flaring programme.
Seplat holds a 50 per cent equity interest in ANOH Gas Processing Company and will earn income from wet gas sales and dividends from the joint venture. The project also adds to Seplat’s LPG production capacity at Sapele and Bonny River Terminal, supplying the domestic market with clean cooking fuel.
Commenting, the Chief Executive Officer of Seplat Energy, Roger Brown, said the project increases the company’s onshore gas processing capacity to over 850 MMscfd and is expected to contribute materially to its 2030 production target of 200 kboepd.
“ANOH is the first of the seven critical gas development projects identified by the Federal Government of Nigeria to commence operations. It is an important strategic project for Seplat, our partner NGIC, and Nigeria as a whole. It has taken a significant amount of commitment and hard work to complete the project in a part of the onshore Niger Delta with limited gas pipeline infrastructure, and we are extremely proud of this achievement.
“ANOH will provide material income streams for Seplat, reduce our carbon intensity and contribute significantly to the 2030 production target of 200 kboepd, set at our recent CMD. It will also increase energy access for Nigerians in terms of both power and clean cooking fuel for the local communities while advancing delivery of our mission to support economic prosperity in Nigeria.”
