Cabinda

Angola's oil-rich exclave bordering the Republic of Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo — host to most offshore production blocks.

Cabinda is Angola’s exclave province, separated from the rest of the country by a narrow strip of DRC territory. Despite its small size, Cabinda is the operational anchor of Angola’s offshore oil industry — the deepwater blocks operated by Chevron, TotalEnergies, and Sonangol lie within Cabinda’s coastal waters.
