  • We ‘ll consolidate growth in 2026, says Heirs Energies

    We ‘ll consolidate growth in 2026, says Heirs Energies

    Chief Executive Officer, Heirs Energies Limited, Osa Igiehon has said the company would consolidate on its strong growth momentum this year, after closing 2025 on a high note of major deals.

    In his review and preview, Igiehon said the company closed 2025 on two defining milestones that position it firmly for the future.

    Heirs Energies had executed a $750 million financing transaction with Afreximbank and also completed the acquisition of the 20.07 per cent equity stake in Seplat Energy Plc, all in December 2025.

    Igiehon said the Seplat’s stake, previously held by Maurel & Prom S.A was a strategic portfolio investment that deepened indigenous participation in critical energy assets and reinforces Heirs Energies’ confidence in Africa’s ability to own, develop, and responsibly manage its resources.

     He said: “As we look ahead to 2026, our priorities are clear. We will build on the foundations laid in 2025, protect asset integrity, deepen partnerships, and continue delivering reliable energy with the highest standards of safety, governance, and stakeholder responsibility”.

    According to him, 2025 was a year that demanded discipline and clarity of execution across the energy industry with market volatility, operational complexity, and heightened stakeholder expectations testing resilience and systems.

    “At Heirs Energies, we remained firmly anchored on fundamentals. We prioritised safety, executed with discipline, and stayed focused on protecting long-term value.”

    “Safety remained our first priority throughout the year. We sustained an exceptional safety performance, recording 1,780 LTI-free days and over 9 million LTI-free manhours, reflecting a deeply embedded safety culture across our operations and the shared responsibility of our workforce.

    “Operationally, the year demonstrated the strength of our brownfield strategy and technical capability. Through targeted interventions and innovative execution, we restored production from long-inactive assets, achieved peak gas production of 135 MMscf per day, and doubled gas supply to key power customers, contributing meaningfully to domestic power generation and economic activity.

    “Financial performance was resilient despite a challenging price environment. Heirs Energies recorded a 10 per cent year-on-year increase in revenue, met all obligations to lenders, sustained full cost recovery, and maintained a unit operating cost significantly below industry benchmarks. These outcomes reflect our continued focus on efficiency, capital discipline, and sustainable cash generation.

    “Beyond operational and financial outcomes, stakeholder alignment remained central to our approach. Through deliberate engagement and collaboration, we recorded zero production deferment arising from community issues, reinforcing our belief that sustainable operations are built on trust, partnership, and shared value,” Igiehon said.

  • NNPC/Heirs Energies boost domestic gas supply with 135 MMscf/d

    NNPC/Heirs Energies boost domestic gas supply with 135 MMscf/d

    Gas supply received a boost in the country as the NNPC/Heirs Energies OML 17 Joint Venture (JV) announced an additional 135 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d), to the basket, thus further strengthening the nation’s energy security.

    The feat, achieved after a rigless recompletion of a key non-associated gas well in OML 17, is said to be a pioneering intervention of such regarded as the first of its kind in the country, doubled the JV’s gas output.

    Prior to this development, the Well from which the new increase accrued, had previously been shut in due to excessive water production. Rather than drilling a new well or undertaking a conventional workover, Heirs Energies engineered a rigless through-tubing recompletion into an untapped reservoir interval. Completed safely, in record time, and at just 15 per cent of the cost of drilling a new Well, the operation sets a new standard for rigless solutions in Nigeria’s upstream sector.

    A statement signed by the Head Corporate Communications, Heirs Energies, Chidimma Ugbojiaku, a copy of which was made available to The Nation, explained that this significant production increase has transformed power generation across the eastern network.

    For instance, it explained that Transcorp PLC – TransAfam Power, has quadrupled its output, rising from an average of 50 megawatts to more than 180 megawatts, with peaks of 200 megawatts. It further disclosed that other power plants also supplied by the network, including First Independent Power Limited (FIPL) and Geometric Power, have also recorded more stable operations and higher generation.

    “In total, the power plants now receiving gas from the Joint Venture have seen combined output surge from around 100 megawatts to more than 350 megawatts. This increased power generation provides enough energy to power hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses – reducing blackouts, supporting hospitals, and schools, and keeping factories, small enterprises, and critical infrastructure running,” the statement read in part.

    Commending the feat, the Special Adviser to the President on Energy, Mrs Olu Verheijen, hailed the feat. “I congratulate the entire Heirs Energies team on this remarkable achievement, which is a testament to the strength of Nigerian engineering expertise and the value of persistent technical innovation. Please be assured of my continued support as you expand your operation across the energy sector, unlocking additional oil and gas resources to power homes, industries and commercial activities nationwide,” Mrs. Verheijen, remarked in a message to Heirs Energies CEO, Osa Igiehon,

    According to Igiehon, “the milestone is another testament to Heirs Energies’ leading capabilities in managing brownfields. The ingenuity, thoroughness, and resilience of our 100 per cent Nigerian workforce made this possible. We remain committed to supporting Nigeria’s gas-to-power agenda through innovation-led, responsible, and performance-driven upstream operations.”

    Executive Vice President, Upstream, NNPC Ltd, Udy Ntia, said: “This innovative intervention demonstrates NNPC’s strong commitment to unlocking the nation’s gas resources in support of national development. The performance of the NNPC/Heirs Energies OML 17 Joint Venture shows the power of partnership, disciplined execution, and innovation in driving substantial value for Nigeria.”

    In similar vein, the Chief Upstream Investment Officer, NUIMS, Seyi Omotowa, an engineer, added: “This project reflects NUIMS’ strategic focus on safe, efficient, and value-driven upstream operations. It is a model for the type of innovative solutions required to optimise Nigeria’s hydrocarbon assets.”

    The NNPC/Heirs Energies OML 17 Joint Venture continues to advance gas-focused, innovation-driven developments, aiming to expand domestic gas supply, strengthen electricity generation, build local capacity, and support broader economic and industrial growth. This latest success reinforces the JV’s commitment to delivering energy that powers homes, industries, and national prosperity

    The Sun Books programme is designed to address these structural gaps by providing offline-first digital learning tools that work in low-infrastructure settings. Teachers in participating schools will also receive hands-on training to integrate digital literacy into classroom instruction, ensuring continuity of learning and stronger long-term outcomes.

    Originally piloted in Uganda, Sun Books has already reached over 17,000 children, trained more than 280 teachers, and supported over 48,000 families across Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, and South Africa.

    Osa Igiehon, CEO of Heirs Energies, reaffirmed the company’s long-term vision for community empowerment:

     “As an integrated energy company, we know that renewable and sustainable energy must serve a greater purpose — building stronger, more resilient communities. Our investment in literacy is an investment in the next generation of leaders, innovators, and problem-solvers. This initiative reflects our Africapitalism philosophy – creating social good while delivering economic value. With Sun Books, we are empowering children to dream beyond their circumstances and equipping teachers with tools to make learning engaging and inclusive.”

    Mr. Andrew Kay, CEO of the World Literacy Foundation, underscored the global significance of the collaboration:

     “This partnership with Heirs Energies demonstrates the power of cross-sector collaboration. By combining renewable energy and digital learning, we are providing children with the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed – regardless of geography or circumstance. Together, we are closing the literacy gap in underserved communities and preparing the next generation for the digital economy.”

    Adding the community perspective, His Royal Majesty, Dr. Samuel Amaechi, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, OML 17 Host Communities Development Trust (HCDT) Board of Trustees, said:

     “This initiative shows what is possible when companies listen to their host communities and act in partnership. Education is the greatest legacy we can give our children. With the Sun Books programme, our schools now have the tools to prepare them for the future. We thank Heirs Energies and the World Literacy Foundation for investing in our children and in the long-term prosperity of our communities.”

    The Sun Books Literacy Initiative serves as the launchpad for Heirs Energies’ Power Schools Initiative, which aims to deploy clean energy and digital infrastructure across schools in its host communities.

    This milestone also aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4: Quality Education and SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy), reinforcing both organisations’ shared commitment to building inclusive, sustainable, and knowledge-driven societies.

    HEIRS Energies CEO to advocate Africa’s energy sufficiency at USAEF

    Heirs Energies, Africa’s largest indigenous-owned integrated energy company, has announced that its Chief Executive Officer, Osa Igiehon, will represent the company at the 2025 U.S.-Africa Energy Forum (USAEF), taking place on August 6–7, 2025, at the Post Oak Hotel in Houston, Texas.

    The Forum will bring together U.S. and African policymakers, financiers, and private sector leaders to discuss investment, innovation, and partnerships shaping Africa’s evolving energy landscape.

    Igiehon will deliver an Executive Insight and participate in the Explorers Town Hall session, sharing Heirs Energies’ perspective on how Africa can unlock its full energy potential responsibly and sustainably.

    The firm’s participation will spotlight its bold agenda of driving Africa’s transition from energy deficiency to energy sufficiency. With operations spanning across the Oil and Gas value chain, the company is investing in infrastructure and innovation to deliver reliable energy for homes, industries, and communities.

    “At Heirs Energies, we believe Africa’s exploration future will be written in two stories: frontier plays waiting to be unlocked, and brownfield excellence – the careful stewardship of fields that have been producing for decades. Our focus is to show that African-owned companies can responsibly manage these assets, apply world-class standards, and deliver shared prosperity,” Igiehon said.

    Underpinning this approach is the Africapitalism philosophy of Heirs Holdings, Heirs Energies’ parent company – the belief that the private sector must lead Africa’s development by investing for both economic and social returns.

    At the Forum, Heirs Energies will demonstrate how this principle translates into tangible action: responsible brownfield management, gas monetisation, and partnerships that empower local capacity while attracting global collaboration.
