Juba and Khartoum Work on Export Constraints

Tuesday, July 16, 2019

South Sudan and Sudan have agreed to work together to find a solution to the constraints experienced exporting Juba’s crude through Khartoum ports. Local media in South Sudan cited Awow Daniel Chuang as saying that the two countries agreed to set up a coordination unit in Port Sudan to ease movement of oil production equipment coming to South Sudan through Sudanese territory.

Chuang said the new arrangements would ease oil export and also help South Sudan to further increase its daily oil output from the current 170,000 bpd.

“We are going to monitor all the petroleum production materials that are coming into the country because oil producing companies are currently facing some challenges,” Chuang said, adding that South Sudan and Sudan are trying to solve these issues to increase production.
