But several new oilfields which should come on stream later this year are expected to halt the decline.

The government of Congo-Brazzaville is banking on new production from Total's Haute Mer permit this year to reverse the slow decline in national oil output over the past few years. Production peaked at 280,000 barrels a day (b/d) in 2000 but has since fallen to 240,000 b/d as the result of delays in bringing new fields on stream. However, the Moho and Bilondo fields on Haute Mer are expected to be brought on stream this year, as the first in a new wave of field development.
