Seplat Energy Plc, a Nigerian independent energy, has advocated increased collaboration across the gas value chain to turn Nigeria’s gas potential into tangible prosperity.
The Managing Director, Seplat Energy Producing Nigeria Unlimited (SEPNU), Mr. Oladotun Isiaka, disclosed this at the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston, United States whilst speaking on a panel session dubbed ‘Harnessing Nigeria’s Gas Potential for Domestic Utilization and Global Export Market’ organised by the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN).
Nigeria, he said, holds a strategic opportunity to leverage its gas reserves for domestic development and global competitiveness, and Seplat Energy is leading as a Nigerian independent, with strong operational and investment commitments in the domestic gas value chain.
He noted that indigenous leadership, backed by supportive policies and financing models, is critical to Nigeria’s gas sector growth.
He said his company is committed to leading Nigeria’s indigenous gas revolution, with a strong belief in energy for all, powered by gas, guided by sustainability and driven by Nigerian expertise.
He spoke on eplat Energy’s contributions to Nigeria’s gas development, saying the company is a leading supplier of processed gas to Nigeria’s domestic market – operating the Oben and Sapele Gas Processing Plant with combined capacity exceeding 300 MMscfd (supplying approximately 30 per cent of gas-fired power generation in-country).
According to him, Seplat Energy is also developing the ANOH Gas Processing Plant – a 300 MMscfd facility expected to come online in 2025 under a joint venture owned equally by Seplat Energy and the Nigerian Gas Infrastructure Company (NGIC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd.
Besides, the SEPNU offshore gas has huge potential to develop for both domestic and export markets, with significant reserves close to infrastructure.
