Perenco Congo plans to start a six-well drilling campaign at Kombi 2 in 2026 to raise production levels, boost the field’s recovery rate and extend operational life.
Perenco Congo managing director Gregoire de Courcelles said: “This project is a concrete example of Perenco’s commitment to investing in high-performance, responsible, and value-creating infrastructure that promotes the sustainable development of national resources. Congratulations to all the teams involved in this collective success.”
