Congo

Perenco operates two offshore fields in the Republic of Congo :

• Emeraude Field

Since acquiring the field in 2001, Perenco has more than doubled oil production , whilst improving environmental standards. An ambitious steam injection programme was launched in 2007 to sharply increase both the recovery factor and production level.

In 2008, we successfully completed a Huff and Puff pilot project involving steam injection/hot production cycles in wells activated with a unique metal/metal PCP design.

Following that success, a new platform featuring steam injection wells was installed and a large drilling programme was completed in 2009.

•  Yombo Field

Perenco has operated the Conkouati FPSO offshore on behalf of the Marine I association since 2002. The production level is around 9,000 bopd.

• Marine IV

Perenco acquired the exploration permit in December 2004. All commitments for the first period of the licence were completed in 2008. An appraisal well was drilled in August 2008, confirming the existence of oil and gas bearing reservoirs.

Seismic interpretations have shown a promising range of leads (pre and post-salt). More exploration work will be carried out in the second period with our partners Svenska and SNPC.
