South Sudan resumes oil exports after drone attack in neighbouring Sudan

SEATTLE (Oil Monster): South Sudan has resumed transporting and exporting crude oil after drone attacks on two key oil installations in neighbouring Sudan forced an emergency shutdown of cross-border operations, a senior official said Wednesday.

Petroleum Ministry Undersecretary Deng Lual Wol told reporters in Juba that “operations across all oil fields in South Sudan have returned to normal” and that crude was again flowing through pipelines to export terminals in Port Sudan on the Red Sea.

“Crude oil exports are now flowing normally from South Sudan through the designated pipelines to the export point at the marine terminal in the Red Sea,” said Lual.
