Recent Developments in the Republic of Congo Boost Oil

  • Are oil exploration blocks a threat to Congo's environment?
  • The Democratic Republic of Congo is putting 16 oil exploration blocks up for auction, including nine in the peatlands of the Cuvette Centrale. Environmentalists warn that oil exploration and infrastructure for production could release huge amounts of carbon stored in the peatland and threaten the rights of local communities.
  • 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.
  • Does Congo have oil reserves?
  • (AP Photo/Mosa’ab Elshamy) Congo, a mineral-rich nation in central Africa, is thought to have significant oil reserves, too. Drilling has so far been confined to a small territory on the Atlantic Ocean and offshore, but that’s expected to change if the government successfully auctions 30 oil and gas blocks spread around the country.
