South Sudan Postpones Licensing Round

Friday, March 20, 2020

As a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic, South Sudan’s Ministry of Petroleum on Wednesday said that it would suspend its first ever oil and gas licensing round which was set to kick off this month. The announcement came from Awow Daniel Chuang, Undersecretary in the Ministry of Petroleum.

“Right now, we were in the middle of preparing for the first oil and gas licensing round. It was actually planned to be here by March but because of the coronavirus we could not even move,” Chuang told journalists in Juba.

Chuang along with Ministry of Petroleum officials, announced its bid to actively engage oil and gas companies focused on exploration, at two Africa focused events – Africa Oil & Power and the South Sudan Oil & Power 2019 (SSOP) – in Q4 2019.
