  • Why is Congo offering 30 oil and gas blocks for auction?
  • (AP Photo/Mosa’ab Elshamy) MOANDA, Congo (AP) — The central African nation of Congo is offering 30 oil and gas blocks around the country for auction. It’s a prospect that concerns environmentalists and some of the people who live near the drilling that has so far been limited to a small area near its far western border on the Atlantic Ocean.
  • Will Congo expand oil & gas drilling?
  • The central African nation of Congo is looking to expand oil and gas drilling by auctioning off 30 sites around the country.
  • Why is the DRC auctioning off 30 oil and gas blocks?
  • The DRC government is auctioning off 30 oil and gas blocks in the Cuvette-Centrale Peatlands in the Congo Basin forest — the world’s largest tropical peatland. Peatland soils are known as ‘carbon sinks’ because packed into them are immense stores of carbon that get released into the atmosphere when the ecosystem is disturbed.
  • Will oil and gas extraction be possible in the Congo Basin?
  • It remains to be seen whether any actual extraction will result; still, merely establishing infrastructure for oil and gas exploration will make it easier for loggers to continue deforesting the Congo Basin.
