Oil & Gas

PIC | Special Economic Zone

The Republic of Congo has major Oil and Gas reserves, and is the 4th largest oil producer in sub saharan Africa. Along with crude oil exploration, there is around 1.8 billion cbm of natural gas flared every year. This presents a huge opportunity to utilize this gas in energy intensive industries, as well of production of numerous chemicals.

Untapped Potential: Invest in Oil & Gas Business Sector in PIC, Congo

The Republic of Congo's oil and gas sector offers a unique data-driven opportunity to capture and utilize annually flared gas estimated at 50 billion cubic meters (World Bank) – a staggering waste representing both environmental and economic loss. The Pointe Noire Pharmaceutical Industrial Zone (PIC) emerges as a strategic location to capitalize on this untapped potential.

PIC offers significant advantages to reduce risk and boost profitability. Government incentives are likely, considering the national goal of reducing gas flaring (example based on government plans). PIC's existing infrastructure near gas fields minimizes transportation costs, while its well-developed network facilitates gas processing and distribution. Captured gas can be utilized within PIC for power generation (enhancing energy security) or transformed into high-value products like LPG for domestic or regional markets, generating substantial revenue streams. Invest in PIC's flared gas capture and become part of the solution, ensuring regulatory compliance, cost savings, and a sustainable future for Congo's oil and gas industry.
