  • What is Congo’s first oil refinery?
  • The country¡¯s first refinery, the Congolaise de raffinage (Coraf), has been in operation since 1982. The refinery has the capacity to process 1 million tons of oil per year, but officially only processes 600,000 tons annually. The country¡¯s needs are estimated at 1.2 million tons.
  • What happened to oil production in Congo?
  • By the turn of the century, production began to decline as existing oil fields reached maturity. As of 2008, oil production has increased every year as a result of several new projects, mainly Congo’s first deep-water field Moho-Bilondo. The Congo is the sixth largest oil producer in sub-Saharan Africa.
  • What is the purpose of the Congo refinery?
  • "This refinery, with a capacity of 2.5 million tons of hydrocarbons per year, will be built to meet the ever-increasing demand for finished petroleum products, not only from Congo, but also from countries in the Central African sub-region. These are mainly high quality petrol and gas oils, liquefied petroleum gases, light fuel oils and lamp oils.
