South Sudan reported that it has agreed with its northern neighbor Sudan to repair oil infrastructure facilities destroyed by conflict. The two agreed to repair the damaged facilities within three months.
The countries’ oil ministers met recently to discuss their respective hydrocarbon industries.
Michael Makuei Lueth, South Sudan’s information minister, told Reuters that officials agreed with their visiting Sudanese counterparts to evaluate and assess the damage to South Sudan’s oilfields in the Heglig area in the country’s north.
“There is an agreement between the two oil ministries of the two countries. They agreed to cooperate and work together in order to repair (the damage),” he said.
