Imo State Hosts a Major Energy Milestone as ANOH Gas Project Records First Gas Production.

Imo State has taken a significant step onto Nigeria’s energy map as the 300 MMscfd Assa North–Ohaji South (ANOH) Gas Project officially achieved First Gas, marking the start of commercial gas production.

This milestone follows the successful completion of the 11-kilometre Indorama gas export pipeline and receipt of full regulatory approvals. The ANOH Gas Processing Company (AGPC) has now commenced gas supply to the Indorama Petrochemical Plant In Eleme Portharcourt, River State under firm and interruptible Gas Sales Agreements.

Since start-up, gas production from the ANOH plant has been steadily stabilizing, delivering 40–52 MMscfd of processed gas, with capacity expected to increase as operations ramp up.

Speaking on the achievement, Seplat Energy CEO Roger Brown described the project as a game-changer, noting that ANOH will:

Generate strong and sustainable income for Seplat

Reduce carbon emissions by eliminating routine gas flaring

Support the company’s 2030 production target of 200,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day

Expand energy access for Nigerians, especially through power generation and clean cooking gas

Drive economic growth and industrial development in host communities
