North Sudan oil production to reach 110,000 bpd before year end: official

November 21, 2010 (KHARTOUM)


The oil production from fields in North Sudan will reach 110,000 barrels per day (bpd) by the end of 2010, an official at the oil ministry said on Sunday.

The remarks come amid raging fears on the impact of the likely South Sudanbreakup on the economy of the North.

Sudan's 500,000 barrels per day of crude is mostly located in the south but the oil infrastructure is entirely in the north, whose experts control all aspects of the production.

Some southern officials have said oil revenues, which are shared roughly half-half since 2005, will continue to be shared post referendum, but the north and south have yet to reach agreement on what the new sharing arrangements will be.

The state minister for the oil Ali Ahmed Osman told the pro-government Al-Rayaam newspaper that the current production levels of oil in the North will suffice should the South opt to secede.

He revealed that there is 50,000 bpd produced in the Greater Nile Project, 60,000 bpd in Al-Foula with 5,000-10,000 bpd expected to be added from Abu-Jabra field. Osman said that overall production in the North is 100,000 bpd at this point.
