🇨🇩 DR Congo provides three gas blocks on Lake Kivu to US and Canadian companies

The government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) published on Wednesday the names of the companies it has selected, following a call for tenders, to exploit three gas blocks in Lake Kivu, in the east of the country.

The Makelele block was awarded to RED, a local subsidiary of United States-based Symbion Power. The Idjwi block went to another U.S. company, Winds Exploration and Production LLC. The Lwandjofu block was won by Canada-based Alfajiri Energy.

A call for tenders for these three methane gas blocks was launched at the end of July. A dozen companies had expressed interest in the gas blocks on the Lake Kivu, located on the border between the DRC and Rwanda.
