First CONGO LNG gas cargo departs
With this first shipment, the Republic of the Congo enters the group of LNG exporting countries, thereby contributing to its economic development and to global energy security.
We operate in the exploration, development and production of hydrocarbons in the Republic of Congo, where we are focussed on increasing the production of gas, both associated and non-associated, for domestic and export markets, with the Congo LNG project, currently in its production phase, and we are developing the Marine XII project. We are also active in the chemical and agri-business sectors.

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 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
We are developing agribusiness projects, in line with Eni’s decarbonization strategy. Our first agri-hub, a pressing plant under construction in the south of the country, produce vegetable oil for use in Eni’s biorefinery in Gela. We are also developing a project to distribute improved stoves which will replace traditional biomass devices and significantly reduce the impact on forests, with positive effects also on health while cooking.

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.
