  • Where is crude oil produced in Sudan and South Sudan?
  • Most of the crude oil in Sudan and South Sudan is produced in the Muglad Basin and Melut Basin. Sudan and South Sudan produce three different crude oil blends: Dar, Nile, and Fula. The Dar and Nile blends are the two main crude oil grades used for export and domestic consumption. The Dar blend is a heavy crude oil with a low sulfur content.‌
  • How much oil does Sudan export?
  • Sudan exported $317 million in crude oil exports in 2020. In 2021, its oil fields produced 59,000 barrels per day (bpd). The Sudan Oil Refinery has the capacity to refine 90-95,000 bpd. The Sudanese government also receives an in-kind royalty payment of 14,000 bpd from the government of South Sudan for oil pipeline transit rights to Port Sudan.‌
  • Who owns oil in South Sudan?
  • South Sudan’s national oil company, Nile Petroleum Corporation (Nilepet), was also involved in allocating licenses. In 2005 Sudan established the National Petroleum Commission to improve the development of the country’s oil resources.‌
  • How many oil refineries are in Sudan?
  • Sudan has three oil refineries and three topping plants (smaller, less complex refineries). However, most of these facilities have either been shut in or decommissioned; only the al-Jaili refinery, which is the country’s largest refinery and is approximately 45 miles north of Khartoum, and the El-Obeid topping plant are currently operating.‌
  • When did the petroleum industry start in Sudan?
  • The petroleum industry in Sudan began in 1979, when the first commercial flow in the country occurred.‌
  • How can Sudan improve its oil sector?
  • Sudan’s oil sector suffers from years of underinvestment. The sector’s productive capacity could be boosted with the introduction of improved technology, staff capacity building, and modernization of existing physical plants.
