Oblivion in Congo 🛸In the not-so-famous 2013 Tom Cruise film Oblivion, aliens send huge flying machines to Earth that remotely harvest water and transfer it up to an orbital reservoir 🇨🇬 Why mention this? Because in Congo, Italian Eni has just put into operation a massive floating gas-processing ship designed to send gas straight to Europe. 📐The vessel the Italians dragged to the Congolese coast is 60 metres wide and 376 metres long. It was built in China beginning in 2023. 🏗Constructing a classic onshore LNG terminal in Congo would have required multibillion-dollar port works, new high-capacity pipelines, and the construction of the plant itself — something Eni clearly did not want to pay for. 👐 The result is very convenient: Congo’s role and the role of its population are reduced to a minimum, the gas flows to Europe, and the government receives whatever “change” falls out of the deals.
