Report summary
Explorers in Congo's Lower Congo Basin have switched to new plays in recent years. The long-standing Sendji play, which still accounts for most production, is looking extremely mature. Recent notable success, such as the Nene Marine find, has been in the pre-salt play in shallow water. Standalone discoveries here can be brought online at relatively low cost, achieving good returns. New discoveries in deepwater can leverage existing infrastructure.
