A national enterprise in the service of energy sovereignty.
ENGIP-RDC SA, the National Petroleum Infrastructure Management Company, is the public operator tasked with reclaiming, operating and developing the downstream petroleum infrastructure of the Democratic Republic of Congo, returned to State ownership at the end of a century-old concession.
A public limited company with public ownership, ENGIP-RDC SA combines a public-service mission with industrial discipline. Its purpose is to reclaim and operate the downstream petroleum logistics installations (pipelines, pumping stations and storage depots) to secure supply to the domestic market.
The enterprise was created out of an imperative of sovereignty: to bring an essential infrastructure, operated for over a century under concession, back under national management, and to henceforth ensure its technical, financial and strategic command.
Our operating framework rests on three inseparable commitments: continuity of supply, environmental rigour within the ecosystems of the Congo Basin, and the development of national technical expertise for the long term.
From a century-old concession to a national operator.
The infrastructure now entrusted to ENGIP-RDC SA was operated for over a century under a concession regime. Its return to State ownership marks a decisive step toward national command of the petroleum logistics chain.
Birth of a logistics infrastructure
The petroleum logistics linking the Atlantic port to Kinshasa is organised under a concession regime dating back to 1910, originally granted to the Société anonyme des Pétroles au Congo and operated in its recent period by FINA LOG SA.
Free return of the assets to the Congolese State
On the expiry of the concession, all installations (pipelines, pumping stations and storage depots) revert free of charge to the ownership of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Creation of ENGIP-RDC SA
The State incorporates a dedicated public limited company, the National Petroleum Infrastructure Management Company, tasked with reclaiming, operating and developing the downstream network to guarantee national energy sovereignty.
