Seplat Energy Ends Gas Flaring, Expands LPG Investment

Seplat Energy Plc has announced the successful cessation of routine gas flaring across its onshore operations in Nigeria, a milestone described by Samson Ezugwori, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director of Seplat Energy, as a major step towards a commitment to cleaner energy and environmental sustainability. This achievement was disclosed during a press briefing in Benin on a Sunday.

Ezugwori noted that the company completed the end of routine flaring in its onshore operations by the end of the previous year. Additionally, Seplat Energy is investing in the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) value chain to support the availability of cooking gas and improve access for consumers.

The establishment of an LPG plant in Sapel, Delta State, is part of this initiative, with the first truckload of LPG cylinders expected to depart the facility on April 20, 2026. This investment aims to contribute to the availability of cooking gas in the country.
