Chad maintains sizable reserves of crude oil which, alongside agriculture, makes up the largest share of the landlocked former French colony's export revenue. Producing around 100,000 barrels of oil a day, most of Chad's crude comes from its reserves in the Doba Basin in southern Chad where oil was discovered in the early 1970s by foreign drillers. There is an estimated one billion barrels of oil in Chad, most of it being exploited by hundreds of rigs operated by Western companies such as Exxon-Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell. However, many challenges exist to Chad's petroleum industry including but not limited to corruption, internal conflict, and geography. Since Chad is landlocked, most of Chad's oil exports are transported out of the country by a pipeline that leads to the Cameroonian port

dbo:abstract
  • Le Tchad dispose d'importantes réserves de pétrole brut qui, avec l'agriculture, représentent la plus grande part des revenus d'exportation. Produisant environ 100 000 barils de pétrole par jour, la majeure partie du brut tchadien provient des réserves du bassin de Doba, au sud du pays, où du pétrole a été découvert au début des années 1970 par des foreurs étrangers. Il y a environ un milliard de barils de pétrole au Tchad, la plupart étant exploités par des centaines de plates-formes exploitées par des sociétés occidentales telles qu'Exxon-Mobil ou Royal Dutch Shell.

However, many challenges exist to Chad's petroleum industry including but not limited to corruption, internal conflict, and geography. Since Chad is landlocked, most of Chad's oil exports are transported out of the country by a pipeline that leads to the Cameroonian port city of Kribi. This pipeline, owned by a consortium, has come under fire due to allegations of exploitation by international corruption watchdogs, and Chadian politicians. In addition, environmentalists have voiced their concerns over the pipeline's impact on the natural environment, citing several spills. (en)
