  • 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 does Sudan benefit from its oil industry?
  • And so it benefits heavily from Sudan’s oil industry, importing billions of dollars of oil per year. (Beijing does not release exact statistics on its imports from Sudan.) The industry wasn’t always dominated by China: Chevron was the first oil company to invest in Sudan, and the French firm Total has a large concession in the south.‌
  • 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.‌
  • Why does CNPC operate in Sudan?
  • The Chinese company provided the Sudanese oil industry with the required investment to built the oil pipeline and consequently converted Sudan to an oil exporting country in 1999. Among the countries in which CNPC operates, Sudan is the most important.‌
  • Where did Chevron find oil in Sudan?
  • In 1975 the American oil company Chevron was granted a concession in the south and south-west of the country. The first oil discovery in Sudan was made by Chevron in the south of Sudan in 1979, west of the Muglad. Chevron continued its successful exploration and made more significant discoveries in the so called Unity and Heglig fields.‌
  • How big is manufacturing in Sudan?
  • Manufacturing in Sudan remains a relatively small sector of the economy, accounting for 11.75% of GDP as of 2019 according to the World Bank. Manufacturing in Sudan has a long history, with many forms of industry being attempted since World War II. Growth has been more consistent in the 21st century than previously.
