Authorities in Congo-Brazzaville have established the fiscal reference prices for hydrocarbons for the third quarter of 2026. These prices, set by the Ministry of Hydrocarbons, are intended to guide tax calculations, royalty tracking, and investor discussions while balancing state interests with private investment.

Specific pricing for national crude grades includes the Nkossa Blend, valued at approximately $94.067 to $94.15 per barrel, the Djeno Blend at approximately $91.18 to $91.49 per barrel, and the Yombo grade at approximately $88.88 to $89.76 per barrel. Gas products such as Nkossa Butane and Nkossa Propane were also priced.

Parallel to these fiscal determinations, Trident OGX has announced production expansion goals. CEO Lucien Ebata stated ambitions to increase production from 2,500 barrels per day to between 45,000 and 50,000 barrels per day by 2027, specifically targeting the Mengo oil field.
