Freedom to Operate, Access to Capital Driving Seplat Energy’s Success – Roger Brown

• As Seplat Emerges NOG Energy Week Indigenous Company of the Year Award

Seplat Energy Plc, foremost Nigerian independent energy Company, has continued to blaze the trail in the country’s energy space by leveraging its Freedom to Operate in host communities and Access to Capital.

The Company has developed and serviced clear ways of engagement with its communities and developing strong partnership with capitals.

Roger Brown, the Chief Executive Officer, Seplat Energy, said this at the 2025 NOG Energy Ween Conference in Abuja during a panel session titled: “Harnessing Africa’s Energy Shift – From Acquisition to Optimisation”.

Seplat Energy, he noted, sees engagement with its communities and other stakeholders from the long-term horizon. “A very clear way of engagement is what Seplat Energy and the indigenous players bring to the party. Shared prosperity is very important. Freedom to Operate has been our success, and this is the substance of our community engagement model,” Brown buttressed.

Speaking on the inclination of the indigenous energy sector to succeed, he said currently, the sector is thriving and full of incredible talents, which are committed to deliver value and boost the fortunes of operators and the country at large.

He added: “For us at Seplat Energy, when we completed the Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited (MPNU) acquisition last year, we were ready for it. This consolidates the fact that we are here for the long term. The assets are prolific in oil and gas, and we will continue to develop and optimise these resources.”
