Speaking at a press conference last week, Hon. Minister Chol stated that, he wants “to assure the general public that all our oilfield facilities such as the pipelines, pump stations, field processing facilities, field surface facilities and the export marine terminal in the Republic of Sudan are well protected and safe from any damage, and we continue to produce and export an average of 169,140 barrels of crude oil per day from all our oilfields in the Republic of South Sudan.”
Hon. Minister Chol added that “The Ministry of Petroleum in collaboration with our investment partners, the management and technical teams of the Joint Operating Companies, and our counterparts in the Republic of Sudan have already set up an Emergency Response Team. This team is being guided by a well-defined and structured contingency plan that will proactively mitigate the severity of the impact of the fighting in Sudan by re-routing all the logistics and transportation of all our critical materials, chemicals and equipment through safer routes.”
