SOCO's historical involvement in Virunga
SOCO International plc is a European oil and gas exploration and production company. The Company has interests in Vietnam, the Republic of Congo (Brazzaville), the Democratic Republic of Congo (Kinshasa) and Angola. Soco's commitment to withdraw from Virunga is a victory for the people who are directly on the park’s resources. While they have received several assertions that that company has disassembled, the situation in the park continues to be monitored.

Soco, which operates in Vietnam and Angola, caused tremendous outrage when it was granted permission to conduct seismic testing in Africa’s oldest national park, home to about half the world’s mountain gorillas, hippos, elephants, and chimpanzees. The company stated, "We will complete our existing operational programme including completing the seismic survey on Lake Edward which is due to conclude shortly.¨ (The guardian) Conservationist have stated ¨if oil had been found and exploited, it would potentially lead to the pollution, which 50,000 families depend for fishing.¨ Now, it can harm animal’s lives as well as humans.
