Riverlake completes PRE-FEED study for offshore CBM system and pipelines in DR Congo

07/08/2025

We are pleased to share that Riverlake has successfully completed the PRE-FEED study for a new offshore Conventional Buoy Mooring (CBM) system and associated pipelines serving the Moanda Tank Farm for SOCIR SA in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Building on our earlier feasibility study to determine the optimal location for tanker mooring and offloading, Riverlake was entrusted with the PRE-FEED scope for both white products (Gasoil, Gasoline, Kerosene, Fuel Oil) and LPG. The study included the offshore CBM system design, the PLEM and subsea pipelines, the shore approach, a pumping / booster station, onshore pipelines to the Moanda Tank Farm and the connection pipeline to the SEP Congo network in Matadi for further transfer of product to Kinshasa.

With the successful delivery of the PRE-FEED study, we’re proud to continue supporting this strategic infrastructure project as Project Management Consultants for SOCIR SA.

Stay tuned for more updates as the project progresses.
