Kombi 2 facility aims to revitalise oil and gas production from legacy assets
Perenco has installed a $200 million new platform offshore Congo-Brazzaville, marking a milestone in the redevelopment of its legacy Kombi-Likalala-Libondo (KLL) oil and gas asset.
Built in the Netherlands by Perenco’s sister company Dixstone, the Kombi 2 platform is designed to produce 7 million cubic feet per day of gas and also recover about 20 million barrels of reserves through new drilling.
Kombi 2 is a key facility in the second phase of the French independent’s KLL revival plan and comes more than 20 years after the last well was drilled on this shallow water complex.
Perenco said on Monday that it has invested over $200 million in this new facility.
Kombi 2 will also play host to a six-well drilling campaign starting in 2026, with the aim of increasing production, optimising KLL’s recovery factor, and extending its life.
Platform commissioning work is currently scheduled for early March 2026.
Kombi 2 also aims to improve water and effluent treatment and produce 8 megawatts of electricity from two gas turbines.
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…”
