Democratic Republic of Congo wants to build a pipeline network to transport oil and natural gas from the east of the country to the Atlantic Ocean, Oil Minister Celestin Mbuyu said.
The Central African country is aiming to increase its oil production and is currently allocating blocks of land to companies for exploration. In October Congo signed an accord with Uganda and Kenya to study the construction of a pipeline that will transport crude oil from deposits near its eastern border to ports on the Indian Ocean. Congo’s only coast is on the Atlantic.
