Perenco Congo has announced the successful installation of the new Kombi 2 platform on the Kombi-Likalala-Libondo II (KLL II) field, marking a key milestone in the redevelopment of this historic field, more than 20 years after the drilling of its last well.
This major project represents an investment of over 200 million dollars, demonstrating Perenco's longterm commitment to supporting energy development in the country.
Designed as a new-generation infrastructure, Kombi 2 plays a central role in the field's future performance, thanks to improved water and effluent treatment, increased associated gas recovery, and 8 MW of electricity generated by its two gas turbines, thereby ensuring greater energy autonomy for operations.
Kombi 2 is a forward-looking platform. It will host a six-well drilling campaign starting in 2026, with the aim of increasing production, optimising the field's recovery factor, and extending its life in a sustainable manner thanks to facilities adapted to current standards.
Connection work is currently underway, with commissioning scheduled for early March 2026.
Commenting on the announcement, Gregoire de Courcelles, Managing Director of Perenco Congo 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.'
