The  Republic of Congo is gearing up for a significant increase in its oil output over the next three years, driven by a series of landmark projects spearheaded by industry giants including TotalEnergies, Trident Energy and Perenco.

With an ambitious goal of doubling oil production to 500,000 barrels per day this year, the country is focusing on expanding production in both new and mature fields.

This strategic drive positions the Republic of Congo as one of the most promising oil producers in Central Africa, looking to harness untapped reserves and maximise the potential of existing assets.

In addition to these new projects, the Republic of Congo is seeing revitalisation efforts in its mature fields, such as Tchibouela II and Tchendo II, operated by Perenco. These fields are undergoing extensive upgrades, including new drilling and seismic assessments, aimed at increasing their output and extending their lifespan.

Perenco, which confirmed a production rate of 80,000 bpd in October 2024 following a $30 million investment, is set to reach 100,000 bpd in 2025 through additional investments and advanced techniques to revitalise aging wells and access previously untapped reserves.
