Congo LNG project opening
An official ceremony marks the start of the project to build a second plant to produce liquefied natural gas.
We operate in the Republic of Congo in the exploration sector, where we are focused on increasing production of gas associated and non-associated, for the domestic market and for exportation, in the chemical sector and in agri-business. We cultivate plants for the production of biofuels on degraded, semi-arid or abandoned land that is not in competition with the agricultural sector. The oil produced, in addition to enhancing the country’s marginal areas, contributes to feeding the Gela biorefinery and creating new job opportunities for Congolese.
Activity start date: 1968 – present
Our exploration activities are focused on the conventional and deep offshore areas off the coast of Pointe-Noire and in the onshore area of of Koilou. To develop and market the country’s gas resources, we have made major investments in two floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants. These plants will allow us to produce electricity for the domestic market and export LNG to Europe.
In line with our decarbonization strategy, we are developing circular economy projects, in particular the cultivation of castor oil as a feedstock for our bio-refineries. Our first agri-hub, a multifunctional centre, will not only serve as a seed-to-oil processing facility, but also as a centre for farmer training and technical support. The hub will be built in the south of the country. We are also developing a project to distribute improved stoves which will replace traditional biomass devices and significantly reduce the impact on forests and health.
We support the local communities in strengthening their skills in agriculture and entrepreneurship with the Hinda Integrated Project. Other projects are also underway for access to drinking water, improved health services, and primary education in several villages. We promote access to education through the Alpha Hinda project and access to energy by building power plants and upgrading electricity transmission infrastructure. We also promote culture among the population. In addition, we have launched two projects with Eni Foundation to treat and prevent diseases among vulnerable families.

From petroleum products to biofuels, we share the country’s path towards the energy transition.
An official ceremony marks the start of the project to build a second plant to produce liquefied natural gas.
The agreement provides for the construction and installation of a floating liquefied natural gas production unit.
The facility (Floating Liquefied Natural) will be used as part of the natural gas development project in the Marine XII block.
The agreement provides for the acceleration and increase of gas production in Congo, in addition to its export.
The memorandum of understanding marks the start of activities for the joint development of oil production for biorefining.
The field, located in the Marine XII block, started just sixteen months after the exploration discovery.
Through the company Eni Congo S.A., hydrocarbon exploration activities start.
The country's abundant natural gas resources contribute to security of supply and local growth.
A large offshore field with major exploration achievements, it is developing rapidly thanks to integration with existing infrastructure.
It is a large-scale integrated project aimed at improving the socio-economic conditions of local communities.
Focusing on education, health, access to water and agriculture for communities near the M'Boundi, Kouakouala, Zingali and Loufika fields.
From the opening of museums and art galleries to cultural centres, we are committed to promoting local heritage for the benefit of communities.
