Sudan will be getting a boost in hydrocarbon production if new exploration in the country pays off according to recent reports out of the country. The government announced that China would be embarking on a new exploration program in the country. China will be exploring for oil and gas in the Red Sea, Sinnar, and West Kordofan.
Sudanese oil and gas minister Mohamed ZayedAwad confirmed that China had agreed launch new oil exploration and to expand its oil operations in Sudan.
“China will start gas production in zone 15 in the Red Sea, in zone 4, known as Baleela field, and zone 6 north of Heglig in West Kordofan State, as well as zone 8 in Souki in the east of Sinnar State,” the Minister said upon the return of a Sudanese delegation led by President al-Bashir from a visit to Peking.
Sudan’s official media, Sudan news agency (SUNA), quoted MinisterAwad as saying that China had agreed to apply the associated gas technology (APG) in enhancing gasoline production, power generation, producing cooking gas, and modernizing the oil sector.
Awad went on to say that the state-owned oil company, Sudapet, had finalized the economic feasibility studies for the said zones. He expects the new agreements to boost oil and gas production.
