    The DRC has proven reserves of 180 million barrels, though estimates of total petroleum reserves exceed 5 billion barrels. Currently, Congolese oil production is limited to the Coast Basin, yielding 25,000 barrels per day of offshore production, all of which are exported
    Oil and Gas dominates the resource sector of the Republic of the Congo (French: République du Congo), also referred to as Congo-Brazzaville, with the petroleum industry accounting for 89% of the country's exports in 2010. Among African crude oil producers in 2010, The Congo ranked seventh.
    Along with large recently identified oil fields, the DRC may hold as many as 30 billion cubic meters of methane and natural gas in the three major petroleum deposits.
    Mining industry of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Mining industry of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a significant factor in the world's production of cobalt, copper, diamond, tantalum, tin, and gold as well.

    Egyptions are thinking of linking Congo river with the white Nile in southeren sudan to increase the flow of it. The Millinium Dam in ethiopia will reduce egypt share in the blue Nile which could lead to thirst and desertification of this North african country.
