Perenco Congo Completes Kombi 2 Platform Installation at KLL Field. Brazzaville, Congo — 2026-02-09 Lead Paragraph: Perenco Congo has successfully installed the Kombi 2 platform on the Kombi-Likalala-Libondo II (KLL II) field, marking a significant milestone in the redevelopment of the historic field.
The project, which represents an investment of over 200 million dollars, underscores Perenco’s commitment to energy development in Congo.
The KLL II field, which had not been drilled for over 20 years, is now poised for a renewed phase of production.
The Kombi 2 platform, a new-generation infrastructure, is designed to enhance water and effluent treatment, increase associated gas recovery, and generate 8 MW of electricity through its two gas turbines, thereby enhancing energy autonomy for operations.
The platform is set to host a six — well drilling campaign starting in 2026, aiming to increase production, optimize the field’s recovery factor, and extend its life in a sustainable manner.
Connection work is currently underway, with commissioning scheduled for early March 2026. Gregoire de Courcelles, Managing Director of Perenco Congo, commented on the project, emphasizing the company’s commitment to investing in high-performance, responsible, and value-creating infrastructure that promotes the sustainable development of national resources.
Perenco Congo, a key player in the Congolese oil sector since 2001, is known for its involvement throughout the project lifecycle, from exploration to decommissioning.
The company’s production amounts to 72,500 barrels of oil and gas per day (2025), and its recent activities, such as the successful redevelopment of Emeraude and the performance of the PNGF Sud fields, highlight its strength in the region.
The successful installation of the Kombi 2 platform is expected to contribute positively to the Congolese energy sector. Further details regarding the project’s impact and the specifics of the platform’s operations are anticipated in the coming weeks.
