On 15 January 2026, the Congolese State incorporated ENGIP-RDC SA, the National Petroleum Infrastructure Management Company. A public limited company with majority State ownership, it is tasked with reclaiming, operating and developing the downstream petroleum infrastructure of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Its creation responds to an imperative of sovereignty: to bring an essential infrastructure, operated for over a century under a concession regime, back under national management, and to henceforth ensure its technical, financial and strategic command.
A public-service mandate
The mandate entrusted to the company covers the entire cycle of the downstream petroleum sector: to design, operate and maintain the logistics installations, to ensure their rigorous and transparent management, and to optimise the costs that affect pump prices.
