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.
