Eni launches second phase of Congo LNG
POINTE-NOIRE, December 3, 2025 – Eni has entered the second phase of its LNG project in the Republic of Congo with the arrival of the Nguyua FLNG on location and the introduction of gas into the offshore infrastructure, the company announced on Tuesday.
The second development phase comprises three production platforms, the Scarabeo 5 gas treatment unit and the Nguya FLNG for liquefaction and export. With the new infrastructure on line, the project’s capacity rises to 3 million tonnes per year.
Through the project, Eni is targeting full development of gas resources from the offshore Nené and Litchendjili fields to supply the newly arrived Nguya FLNG and Tango FLNG, in operation since 2023. The first LNG cargo from the second phase is expected in early 2026.
To support the development of other fields in the area, Nguya FLNG is designed to process gas of varying compositions.
Eni has operated in the Republic of Congo for more than 55 years. The company supplies gas to the Centrale Électrique du Congo, which holds approximately 70% of the country’s power generation capacity.
