Seplat Drives Nigeria’s Energy Transformation as AEW 2026 Diamond Sponsor
Nigeria’s independent energy company Seplat Energy enters African Energy Week (AEW) 2026 riding a wave of operational and financial success. The company is targeting up to 155,000 barrels of oil per day in 2026 and recently posted a record-breaking 150% revenue increase and strong profits in 2025, reflecting the impact of its growing upstream portfolio and strengthened production base.
This momentum underpins Seplat’s role as a Diamond Sponsor at AEW 2026, taking place in Cape Town from October 12–16, where governments, operators and investors will accelerate African energy deals, infrastructure buildout and project execution.
Seplat Energy has positioned itself as one of Africa’s most strategically capable independents. In January 2026, the company’s ANOH gas plant began supplying processed gas after completing an 11-km export pipeline and receiving regulatory approvals. Initial volumes stabilized at 40–52 million cubic feet per day, with condensate output of 2,000–2,500 bpd, bringing the company’s joint venture gross onshore gas processing capacity to over 850 million cubic feet per day, supporting industrial users, power generation and clean cooking fuel markets.
Alongside ANOH, Seplat is expanding its gas value chain through the Sapele Gas Plant, where upgrades are increasing processing capacity from 60 to 90 million cubic feet per day while reducing flaring and enabling LPG recovery. Together, these projects showcase Seplat as one of the few African independents combining upstream oil growth with large-scale gas infrastructure and lower-carbon domestic energy delivery.
As a Diamond Sponsor, Seplat brings indigenous scale, technical capacity and execution discipline to AEW 2026. Its participation signals a shift in African energy leadership, highlighting locally anchored companies capable of turning reserves and infrastructure plans into real production, gas supply and industrial power delivery.
“Seplat Energy embodies the rise of a new generation of African energy leaders – companies that are not only producing hydrocarbons but building the gas infrastructure, commercial models and delivery platforms needed to power industrial growth. With this kind of indigenous scale and strategic ambition, Seplat will define Africa’s energy future,” said NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber.
