Oil Exploration in the Peatlands of Democratic Republic

Equatorial Guinea, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)

  • 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.
  • Will DRC auction oil & gas blocks?
  • The DRC govt will auction oil and gas blocks in the Cuvette-Centrale Peatlands in the Congo Basin forest. Peatlands are known as 'carbon sinks' because large stores of carbon are packed into them. Environmentalists say the project will worsen the climate crisis amongst other issues, the govt denies.
  • Will Congo auction off oil & gas drilling blocks?
  • CNN’s Angela Dewan and Nimi Princewill contributed to this report. Despite growing pleas from climate change activists, the Democratic Republic of Congo says it is moving forward with its plans to auction off a vast majority of oil and gas drilling blocks located in the country’s rainforest and peatland.
  • Why is Congo letting energy firms bid for oil & gas?
  • The Congolese government is letting energy firms bid for access to its vast oil and gas reserves, raising concerns about the potential climate consequences. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is auctioning the licensing rights for dozens of oil and gas blocks, opening up parts of the world’s second-largest rain forest to exploitation.
