Congolese US Ambassador Serge Mombouli, on Friday, met for nearly an hour with Jeffrey Krilla, vice president of Cosmos Energy, an American international oil company based in Dallas, Texas.

The meeting, which took place at the chancery in Washington, focused on ongoing talks between Brazzaville and COSMOS ENERGY for possible partnership in operating in the Republic of Congo, rich in oil and gaz.

After the meeting, Mr. Krilla thanked Ambassador Mombouli for the update and his continued support for investments in Congo.

The Republic of Congo, in Central Africa, had proved oil reserves of 1.94 billion barrels at the end of 2011, equivalent to 17.9 years of current production and 0.11% of the world’s reserves, according to the 2012 BP Statistical Energy Survey. AlloAfricaNews
