en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Republic of Congo is actively expanding oil and gas production, with operators advancing multiple liquefied natural gas (LNG), deepwater, and brownfield development projects, while policymakers have introduced reforms to attract upstream investment.

The country aims for sustained growth in oil and gas output, supported by major development projects led by Eni, TotalEnergies, Trident Energy, and local operator Ammat Global Resources.

Natural gas has become a key growth area. Eni's Congo LNG project continues to expand, with the Nguya floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) unit coming online at the end of 2025, boosting the project's export capacity from 0.6 million tons per year to 3 million tons per year. The project includes the Tango FLNG vessel, positioning Congo as an increasingly important LNG supplier in Central Africa.

According to Energy Capital & Power, offshore oil development continues to advance. Following the announcement of the Moho G discovery, TotalEnergies is progressing development activities in the Moho license area. The company is supporting production growth through an infill drilling program, expected to add approximately 40,000 barrels per day of incremental output.

After acquiring an 85% interest in the Nkossa and Nsoko II fields in 2025, Trident Energy is extending the life of its offshore assets through redevelopment and subsea optimization measures. The company has also proposed an FLNG development plan to provide additional gas monetization capacity and support future production growth.

Local operator Ammat Global Resources is advancing expansion plans for the Loango and Zatchi fields, with redevelopment activities and well restarts already boosting production.

Beyond project activities, Congo has introduced a series of reforms to improve the investment environment. The country's Gas Code, enacted in 2025, establishes a framework for gas commercialization, while the national gas master plan aims to expand gas utilization, reduce flaring, and support power generation growth.

Officials are also evaluating a new round of upstream licensing rounds as part of broader efforts to attract new exploration and development capital into mature and frontier blocks.

With growing LNG exports, advancing offshore development, and a new policy framework taking shape, Congo continues to position itself as one of the most active oil and gas markets in Central Africa.
