Seplat Energy Plc says it is increasing domestic gas supply in Nigeria by installing over 850 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd) of infrastructure.
The Chief Operating Officer of Seplat, Mr Samson Ezugworie, said on Sunday that the company was working diligently to address Nigeria’s persistent energy poverty.
Ezugworie disclosed that over 850MMscfd of gas installations had been completed within Nigeria to support local demand.
He added that this figure excludes the capacity of assets recently acquired from Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited (MPNU).
“Over the years, we’ve installed over 850MMscfd of gas aimed at supplying domestic users across the country.
“With the MPNU acquisition, we’re exploring new growth opportunities within its vast gas reserves.
“We intend to utilise a significant portion of this gas to further power homes and industries across Nigeria,” Ezugworie said.
He reiterated Seplat Energy’s commitment to sustainability across environmental, social, and corporate governance dimensions.
According to him, the company’s long-term focus is driven by outcomes that extend beyond short-term gains.
He stressed that building a sustainable business requires vision, even when benefits are not immediately visible to today’s generation.
Capacity development, he added, remains central to Seplat’s growth and national development priorities.
“This month, 50 graduates began employment and are undergoing diverse training across various departments.
“For us, this reflects sustainability—developing talent pipelines to secure Seplat’s future leadership and technical expertise,” he said.
Ezugworie also highlighted the company’s technological interventions transforming Nigeria’s gas sector.
He noted that Seplat has executed its End of Routine Flaring (EORF) roadmap through targeted facility investments.
“These initiatives are designed to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions and boost energy efficiency across operations.
“For example, our Sapele Integrated Gas Plant’s first module is now operational and producing gas.
“At full capacity expected in 2025, the plant will significantly cut our Group’s Scope 1 emissions.
“Other key flare-out projects are ongoing, including the Western Asset Flares Out and Oben LPG Project.
‘The company is also working on the Sapele LPG Facility and the Ohaji Flares Out Project,” he said.
According to him, Seplat expects to end routine flaring of gas across its onshore assets by the second half of 2025.
