Seplat, a Nigerian independent energy company has confirmed that the 300 MMscfd ANOH gas project has started producing gas.
After completing the 11 km Indorama gas export pipeline and receiving approval from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, the ANOH Gas Processing Company began supplying gas to Indorama on Friday, 16 January 2026. The supply is governed by firm and interruptible gas sales agreements. To support delivery, four upstream wells that had been idle since November 2025 were brought into production.
Since operations began, wet gas output has continued to stabilize. The ANOH plant now delivers between 40 and 52 MMscfd of processed gas directly to the Indorama Petrochemical Plant. Condensate production stands at 2.0 to 2.5 thousand barrels per day and is expected to rise as gas volumes increase toward full capacity.
The company is also preparing to begin gas sales to Nigeria LNG under an interruptible offtake agreement. This arrangement will help the plant increase output toward its full design capacity of 300 MMscfd. At the same time, construction of the OB3 export pipeline by the Nigerian Gas Infrastructure Company has resumed, with an updated completion timeline to be announced later.
AGPC, a joint venture between Seplat Energy and NGIC, developed the ANOH gas plant. The facility includes two gas processing trains of 150 MMscfd each, LPG recovery units, condensate stabilization units, a 16 MW power plant, and supporting infrastructure. The plant operates without routine gas flaring.
Located within the combined OML 53 and OML 21 fields, the ANOH plant enables access to an estimated 4.6 trillion cubic feet of gas with associated condensate. As of the end of 2024, Seplat’s share of proven and probable reserves in the unitised field stood at 0.8 Tcf. The company earns revenue from wet gas supplied from OML 53 and from dividends linked to its 50 percent ownership stake in AGPC.
LPG output from ANOH, alongside production from Sapele and the Bonny River Terminal, positions Seplat as a major domestic supplier of clean cooking fuel. The ANOH plant will also process gas previously flared from the Ohaji field, supporting Seplat’s onshore programme to end routine flaring and advance its sustainability goals.
The project recorded no lost time injuries during development, covering 17.5 million man-hours. This reflects the project team’s focus on safety throughout construction.
Seplat’s Chief Executive Officer, Roger Brown, described ANOH as the first of seven priority gas projects identified by the Nigerian government to begin operations. He noted that the project holds strategic value for Seplat, NGIC, and Nigeria, especially given the limited gas infrastructure in the onshore Niger Delta. He added that ANOH is Seplat’s third major onshore gas facility and raises joint venture gas processing capacity to more than 850 MMscfd.
Brown also said the project will generate significant revenue, lower Seplat’s carbon intensity, and support the company’s target of reaching 200 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day by 2030. He emphasized that ANOH will improve access to power and clean cooking fuel while contributing to economic growth in Nigeria.
