Energy Markets & PricesCommodities & Raw MaterialsEmerging MarketsTrade Policy & Supply ChainCompany Fundamentals

Seplat Energy workers began an indefinite strike on Friday, risking a reduction in output from Nigeria's largest independent oil and gas producer. The stoppage comes as global oil prices are rising and could tighten supply, applying upward pressure to prices and creating near-term downside risk to Seplat's production and cash flow. Monitor strike duration and any announced production shut-ins; expect the company stock to move in the low-single-digit percentage range if disruption persists.
