Cuvette Central Basin
First Energy Africa’s priority basin — a vast interior position at the heart of the DRC programme, advanced through disciplined, data-led evaluation.
The Cuvette Centrale is one of the largest intracratonic sedimentary basins on the African continent, occupying much of central DRC beneath the Congo River system.
Our work begins with data: reprocessing what exists and acquiring what is missing, before any capital is committed to the ground.
A phase-gated programme
Each stage carries defined objectives and decision gates, and proceeds only when the evidence warrants.
Data assembly
Legacy datasets assembled and the regional geological framework established.
Seismic & G&G
Reprocessing, basin modelling and prospect maturation across the priority area.
Exploration drilling
First wells to test the highest-ranked prospects against the basin model.
Appraisal
Appraisal of any discovery and phased development aligned with national priorities.
