As the neuralgic center of all Eni Congo operations, the base ensures the efficient transit of equipment, materials, and personnel to onshore and offshore facilities, while meeting the highest standards in safety, environmental protection, and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A driver of national energy performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Yasika logistics platform holds a strategic position within the Congo LNG project, contributing to the development of the gas potential of the Marine XII permit. It supports operations for the two floating liquefaction units: Tango FLNG (0.6 MTPA), which began production in December 2023, and Nguya FLNG (2.4 MTPA), scheduled to start up production by the end of 2025. Yasika plays a key role in the construction of new installations, interconnection of existing infrastructures, and modernization of strategic facilities, such as the Litchendjili plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A cutting-edge logistics infrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Designed to optimize the entire logistics supply chain, Yasika is built on modern infrastructure conceived to meet the growing needs of Congo\u2019s gas industry. Key technical features of the base include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A total surface area of nearly 190,000 m\u00b2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A 285-meter-long quay<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1,000 m\u00b2 of office space<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>16,000 m\u00b2 of covered areas and technical workshops<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A dedicated jetty for marine transport rotations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A treatment unit for muds and cements for drilling activities, covering an area of 1,100 m\u00b2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A strong commitment to local content<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of Yasika\u2019s flagship projects is the local fabrication of Midwater Arch structures (MWA1 and MWA2), essential components for hydrocarbon transport within Congo LNG project.
