Our work in the Republic of the Congo

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.

How we operate in the country

The Republic of Congo is focusing on LNG

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.

From castor beans, a new energy for the Republic of Congo

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.

The development of oilseed crops for biorefineries

Together with Eni Foundation we support the most vulnerable families

Other initiatives in Congo

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.
