Offshore Magazine,  Oct, 2005
Total SA said the Democratic Republic of Congo government will allow the company to develop the Moho-Bilondo oil project, 80 km offshore in depths of 600-900 m. 
Phase 1 of the Moho-Bilondo development includes 12 subsea wells, of which seven are production wells and five are water injectors that will be tied into a floating production unit housing the processing facilities. 
Production is expected to peak at 90,000 b/d and be exported to the Djeno terminal. The development is scheduled to come onstream in 2008. In 2004, Total produced 813,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in Africa, its primary hydrocarbon production. The Congo accounted for 91,000 barrels. 
Operator Total E&P Congo owns 53.5% of the permit, Chevron Congo Overseas Ltd., has 31.5%, and Societe Nationale des Petroles du Congo has 15%.
