Brown, who was represented by the Chief Operating Officer Samson Ezugworie, pointed out that Seplat Energy has been the country’s top domestic gas supplier, providing around 300scf/d, or 30% of Nigeria’s gas-to-power supply, on a daily basis.
He reaffirmed the firm’s dedication to the energy transition, energy security, and sustainability while emphasizing that Seplat Energy’s CSR initiatives had expanded over time with immeasurable positive effects on society.
He said: “We have a very aggressive programme to eliminate flares by 2024, through a combination of solutions. We have created a New Energy Directorate, with a mandate to look into the power and the entire energy transition value chain.”
He said the company’s primary commitment is to reduce its GHG emissions resulting from direct operations, adding that Seplat Energy has established a broad set of investment activities designed to reduce emissions from its operated facilities and offset residual emissions.
