Dar Petroleum Company (DPOC) has resumed exploration activities in Blocks 3 and 7 in Upper Nile State, South Sudan, after a force majeure was lifted by the government and the Basher Pipeline Company (Bapco)
South Sudan's Minister of Petroleum, Puot Kang Chol, has revealed an initial output target for 90,000 barrels per day from the blocks. With almost 90% of the country's resources untapped, the national oil & gas company, Nile Petroleum Corporation is highly focused on drawing investments to boost the region's domestic as well as export market.
Export activities
Export activities from South Sudan to Port Sudan on the Red Sea, which was under blockage for almost a year, will also resume following the announcement.
In May last year, Wildcat Petroleum signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Petroleum to advance the development and commercial exploitation of the hydrocarbon assets in selected fields.
