Home-Grown Energy Victory: Seplat Flips the Script with Massive Domestic Gas Delivery
Seplat Energy Plc, in partnership with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, has completed its first domestic supply of Liquefied Petroleum Gas from the Bonny River Terminal in Rivers State, delivering 12,600 metric tons to the Nigerian market.
This operation marks a significant shift for the Bonny River Terminal from its traditional role as an export hub, supporting Seplat’s efforts to grow local energy supply while reducing dependence on imported cooking gas. The supply is part of Seplat’s broader plan to expand domestic gas infrastructure.
Two major projects are nearing completion: the 300 MMscfd ANOH Gas Plant in Imo State and the 90 MMscfd Sapele Gas Plant in Delta State. Both plants include LPG extraction units capable of producing 120MT and 163MT per day respectively and are expected to come onstream in Q4 2025.
Chief Executive Officer Roger Brown emphasized the importance of reliable domestic supply for achieving energy security, reducing carbon emissions, and improving air quality. The initiative aims to increase access to clean cooking fuel for Nigerian households, with more than 80% currently using traditional biomass sources.
Following Seplat’s acquisition of Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited in Q4 2024, the company reported an 11% increase in total production and an 85% rise in independently audited 2P reserves to 886 million barrels of oil equivalent.
