The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been a producer and exporter of oil since 1975. But it has potential which may rank it among the greatest producers of oil in Africa. The prospecting campaign undertaken in the eastern, western and central regions has identified hydrocarbons in central Basin, the Rift Valley in eastern DRC and the Borderline with Uganda Republic.

Hydrocarbon reserves have been identified on the Atlantic Coastline and are exploited offshore and onshore by the company Perenco. Statistics indicate an average production of 25,000 to 30, 000 barrels per day from 2000 to 2006, which is all exported.

The DRC possesses a refinery in MUANDA with a capacity of 75,000 tonnes per year run by the Société Congolaise des Industries de Raffinage (SOCIR). This refinery plant is designed for the purpose of processing semi-crude imported oil. Il produces two-star petrol, fuel for aircraft, gas oil and fuel oil. It can operate inputs of Congolese crude oil.

On technical grounds, refinery activities have been in abeyance since 2000 and the company’s activities are focused on importing and warehousing of oil.

A consequence of the stoppage of activities of SOCIR is the shortage the DRC faces regarding the procurement of oil products, which mainly come from abroad.

DRC is small oil producer. The main part of production aver 70%, is offshore, with a domination of the international company Perenco oil of France. The U.S Company union oil and the Japanese Teikoku are two other important actors. The reserves are essentially located in the Congo River estuary.
