Afren ends sale talks with Seplat Petroleum

Feb 13 (Reuters) - Oil producer Afren Plc (LSE: AFR.L - news) said it had ended talks with Nigeria's Seplat Petroleum Development Co Plc over a potential sale of the company.

Afren said it would not agree to Seplat's request to extend from Friday the deadline to make a firm offer for the company.

Afren is still in talks with creditors for its immediate funding needs, it said. (Reporting by Abhiram Nandakumar in Bengaluru; Editing by Kirti Pandey)
