Seplat Energy says the 300 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) ANOH gas project has achieved its first gas.
In a statement on Tuesday, Stanley Opara, Seplat’s spokesperson, said the ANOH Gas Processing Company (AGPC) has commenced gas supply to the Indorama Petrochemical plant.
“Seplat Energy Plc (“Seplat” or the “Company”), a leading Nigerian independent energy company listed on both the Nigerian Exchange Limited and London Stock Exchange, is pleased to announce that the 300 MMscfd ANOH gas project has achieved first gas,” he said.
“Following completion of the 11km Indorama gas export pipeline and receipt of regulatory approval from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), on Friday 16th January 2026, ANOH Gas Processing Company (AGPC) commenced gas supply to Indorama, under a firm and interruptible offtake Gas Sales Agreements (GSAs).
“To enable the flow of gas, the four upstream wells, which had been on standby since November 2025, were brought online.”
Since first gas, Opara said wet gas production has been stabilising, delivering 40 to 52 mmscfd of processed gas directly from the ANOH gas plant to the Indorama Petrochemical plant.
He added that condensate production has reached 2,000 to 2,500 barrels of oil equivalent per day (kboepd) and is expected to rise alongside gas production as the plant ramps up to design capacity.
“In addition, preparations are underway to initiate sales of processed gas to the Nigeria LNG (NLNG) with an offtake agreement structured on an interruptible basis and will support the gas plant to further scale production towards full design capacity of 300MMscfd,” Opara said.
“Meanwhile, the construction of the OB3 pipeline export route by Nigerian Gas Infrastructure Company (NGIC), originally designated as the primary channel for ANOH gas supply to the domestic market, has resumed and a revised completion date will be communicated in due course.
“The ANOH gas plant was developed by AGPC, an incorporated joint venture between Seplat Energy and the NGIC.”
He said the integrated plant consists of two 150 mmscfd gas processing units, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) recovery units, condensate stabilisation units, a 16 megawatt (MW) power plant, and other supporting facilities.
Opara added that the ANOH gas plant was built to operate with zero routine flares.
Commenting on the development, Roger Brown, Chief Executive Officer of Seplat Energy, said ANOH is the first of seven critical gas projects identified by the federal government to begin operations.
“It is an important strategic project for Seplat, our partner NGIC, and Nigeria as a whole,” he said.
“It has taken a significant amount of commitment and hard work to complete the project in a part of the onshore Niger Delta with limited gas pipeline infrastructure, and we are extremely proud of this achievement.
“This is our third major gas processing facility onshore and increases our Joint Venture gross gas processing capacity onshore to over 850 MMscfd.”
Brown added that ANOH will provide material income streams for Seplat, reduce its carbon intensity, and contribute significantly to the company’s 2030 production target of 200 kboepd.
