Seplat Ends Routine Gas Flaring, Expands LPG Investment – Official
Seplat Energy Plc says it has ended routine gas flaring across its onshore operations in Nigeria, describing the milestone as a major step in its commitment to cleaner energy and environmental sustainability.
Mr Samson Ezugworie, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director of Seplat Energy, disclosed this on Sunday in Benin during a parley with journalists.
Ezugworie said the company achieved the feat by the end of 2025, describing it as a remarkable accomplishment both in Nigeria and globally.
“I will make bold to say that in our operations in the onshore business that we have, both western assets and eastern assets, we actually achieved the end of routine flaring in all our onshore operations as of the end of last year,” he said.
The chief operating officer also said that the company had invested in the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) value chain to support the availability of cooking gas and improve access for consumers.
According to him, the commitment is being driven through the establishment of an LPG plant in Sapele, Delta. Ezugworie said the first trucks loaded with LPG cylinders departed the facility on April 20, 2026.
“We are committed to contributing to LPG and cooking gas in the country. We already have the plant in Sapele. The plant is not somewhere else but in our area of operation.
“Again, all these are actually borne out of the fact that we are committed to the things we say.
“One of our key mantras in Seplat is integrity. One of our core values is integrity, and integrity only says the gap between what you say and what you do should not be there,” he said.
The investments, the Seplat Energy boss said, reflected the company’s commitment to aligning its operations with its stated values while supporting Nigeria’s transition to cleaner energy sources.
