SEPLAT Petroleum Development ( (GB:SEPL) ) has issued an announcement.

Following completion of technical and regulatory steps with the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, including the issuance of new Petroleum Mining Lease and Petroleum Prospecting License numbers, operations under the new regime are expected to start on 1 January 2026, a move the company says was already embedded in its medium-term guidance and is expected to enhance profitability, cash-flow margins and support further investment and production growth, while it continues to work toward converting its offshore assets by 2027.
