Seplat Energy Plc has commenced gas supply from its ANOH Gas Processing Plant following the completion of key infrastructure and regulatory approvals, positioning the project to support domestic industrial demand and future LNG offtake.
In a statement issued on January 20, 2026, the company said first gas was achieved on Friday, January 16, after the completion of the 11-kilometre Indorama gas export pipeline and the receipt of approvals from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission. The 300 million standard cubic feet per day ANOH facility is operated by ANOH Gas Processing Company, an incorporated joint venture between Seplat Energy and the Nigerian Gas Infrastructure Company.
Seplat said initial production has stabilised at between 40 and 52 million standard cubic feet per day of processed gas, currently supplied directly to the Indorama Petrochemical Plant. Condensate production has reached between 2.0 and 2.5 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day, with volumes expected to increase as operations ramp up towards the plant’s full design capacity.
The company disclosed that preparations are underway to commence processed gas sales to Nigeria LNG under an interruptible offtake arrangement, which it said would support further scaling of production towards 300 million standard cubic feet per day. It also noted that construction of the OB3 pipeline, designated as the primary domestic gas evacuation route for ANOH and being developed by the Nigerian Gas Infrastructure Company, has resumed, with a revised completion timeline to be announced later.
According to Seplat, the ANOH gas plant comprises two processing trains of 150 million standard cubic feet per day each, liquefied petroleum gas recovery and condensate stabilisation units, and a 16-megawatt power plant. The facility has been designed to operate with zero routine flaring.
The company said the project unlocks an estimated 4.6 trillion cubic feet of condensate-rich gas across the unitised OML 53 and OML 21 fields, adding that its 2P reserves in the ANOH field stood at 0.8 trillion cubic feet as at the end of 2024. Seplat is expected to derive value from wet gas sales to the ANOH plant and from dividends linked to its 50 per cent equity interest in AGPC.
Seplat also stated that LPG output from ANOH, combined with production from its Sapele and Bonny River Terminal facilities, will strengthen its position in the domestic supply of clean cooking fuel.
The company said the ANOH project was delivered without a single Lost Time Incident, despite recording more than 17.5 million man-hours during construction.
Commenting on the development, Seplat’s Chief Executive Officer, Roger Brown, said, “The ANOH project is the first of seven critical gas developments identified by the Federal Government to reach operations,” adding that it increases the company’s joint venture onshore gas processing capacity to over 850 million standard cubic feet per day.
He said the project would support income growth, lower carbon intensity and contribute to Seplat’s 2030 production target of 200,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, while expanding access to power and clean cooking fuel in Nigeria.
Seplat Energy is listed on the Nigerian Exchange Limited and the London Stock Exchange.
