Natural Bitumen and Extra-Heavy Oil Country Notes
Congo (Democratic Republic)
A natural bitumen deposit occurs in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the Cabinda Basin near the border with Cabinda. It has served as a source of road material, with nearly 4 000 tonnes (24 000 barrels) having been produced in 1958. This deposit is not likely to become a source of synthetic oil.
