South Sudan’s Ambassador to Khartoum, Mayend Dut Wol met with the Sudanese
minister Petroleum Minister, Abdurrahman Osman and discussed ways to
restart oil production from oil fields that had been closed due to
insecurity.

Some oil fields in Unity state have been shut down since 2014 due to the
fighting between the government troops and rebels. The lack of oil revenue
affected the fragile economy of South Sudan as it depends entirely on crude
exports.

In a press statement in Khartoum, Mayen said the meeting also discussed the
exchange of expertise in oil management to help boost oil production in
South Sudan.

For his part, the Sudanese oil minister said they will continue to
implement the 2012 Joint Cooperation Agreement on oil with Juba to serve
the interest of the two nations.
