South Sudan to Resume Oil Production and Oil Exports On Wednesy




South Sudan to Resume Oil Production and Exports on Wednesday


South Sudan is set to restart oil production and exports on January 8, 2025, following the lifting of a force majeure declared in February 2024 due to infrastructure damage caused by conflict in Sudan. 


Initial production will focus on Blocks 3 and 7, operated by Dar Petroleum Operating Company, targeting 90,000 barrels per day (bpd) within six months. Oil will be transported via Sudan's infrastructure to Port Sudan for export. 


This decision was facilitated through collaboration between South Sudan's Ministry of Petroleum, Sudan's Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, and international partners. 


The move is expected to boost South Sudan's economy, as oil exports are a critical revenue source to the country.
