Gabon’s first private oil firm Komo Ressources Group begins production

• Gabon’s first private oil field KOREG begins production
• Indigenous operator completes project in under two years

LIBREVILLE, GABON – Gabon’s first privately operated oil field has begun production, marking a historic shift in the country’s upstream energy sector toward indigenous participation.

In late November 2025, Komo Ressources Group (KOREG), a private national oil company, officially brought the Autour field online and reported first oil production — the first time a privately owned Gabonese firm has achieved this milestone.
