Republic of Congo
Republic of Congo
Invitation for Participation in Strategic Upstream Exploration and Development
The Republic of Congo, through Intra Desk Trade Ltd—its authorized partner under a sovereign guarantee framework—hereby invites qualified and financially capable international oil and gas companies to participate in the exploration, development, and production of petroleum resources within designated offshore and onshore blocks in the Lower Congo Basin and Congo Fan region. Geophysical surveys have been conducted and will be shared with the interested party.
These strategic tenders form part of Congo’s national ambition to double oil output and triple gas production by 2030, reinforcing its emergence as a key LNG exporter and energy hub in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Strategic Context and National Vision
Since the inception of its petroleum industry in the 1960s, the Republic of Congo has evolved into a mature oil and gas producer. Recent years have witnessed substantial progress toward deep and ultra-deep water exploration, with significant potential yet to be unlocked in the Congo Fan and Lower Congo Basin.
Under the National Gas Master Plan (to be unveiled at CEIF 2025), the Government of Congo aims to:
- Increase LNG export capacity through Tango FLNG Phase I and II projects (0.6 and 2.4
MMTpa respectively).
- Expand domestic gas supply for industrialization and power generation.
- Launch a competitive bid round in 2025, offering attractive fiscal terms and transparent licensing mechanisms.
Scope of Tender
This invitation covers the following:
- Exploration and production of oil and gas blocks, both onshore and offshore, within delineated basins.
- Participation under Production Sharing Agreements (PSA) or Joint Venture
frameworks.
- Development of midstream and downstream infrastructure in support of LNG and gas utilization projects.
Geological Overview
The designated areas include proven and high-potential plays:
- Cenozoic Congo Fan (dominant turbidite systems with significant hydrocarbon
volumes).
- Post-salt Albian–Cenomanian Carbonates (Pinda/Sendji Formations).
- Post-salt Albian–Maastrichtian Clastics.
- Pre-salt Neocomian–Aptian Clastics (Djeno, Mengo, Vandji formations).
Exploration data indicate favorable reservoir characteristics, stable charge systems, and multiple play opportunities across both mature and frontier zones.
Fiscal and Legal Framework
The Republic of Congo offers one of the most investor-attractive fiscal regimes in West Africa, as independently assessed by S&P Global Commodity Insights (2025).
Key features include:
- Transparent licensing and registration process.
- Competitive PSA terms ensuring fair risk–reward balance.
- Long-term fiscal stability backed by sovereign guarantees.
- Legal recourse under international arbitration standards.
Partnership and Implementation
Intra Desk Trade Ltd acts as authorized commercial and logistical coordinator for project facilitation, partner onboarding, and field development structuring. All partnerships will be secured under sovereign assurance, ensuring protection of capital investments, operational continuity, and alignment with Congo’s long-term energy strategy.
Expression of Interest (EOI)
Interested entities are invited to submit:
- A formal Letter of Interest addressed to Intra Desk Trade Ltd, Oil & Gas Division;
- Corporate profile;
- Technical experience in offshore and/or onshore exploration projects;
- Proposal for engagement under PSA, JV, or service contract format.
