Repairs to the Sudan pipeline<\/strong>, which was damaged in February, are almost complete and could resume operations within the next two weeks, a representative of South Sudan’s oil ministry announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n

The Petrodar pipeline is operated by a consortium that includes CNPC of China, Sinopec and Petronas of Malaysia, and usually transports approximately 100,000 barrels of crude oil per day.<\/strong> from South Sudan over 1,500 km to a terminal on Sudan’s Red Sea coast.<\/p>\n\n

In addition, Sudanese sources sympathetic to the military blamed the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for the disruption, claiming that the damaged pumping station of the \n pipeline<\/a>\n<\/strong> was located in RSF-controlled territory. However, RSF rejected these accusations.<\/p>\n\n

In this context, South Sudan Dar Blend crude oil, characterized by its low sulfur content and waxy nature<\/strong>, requires heating to prevent it from solidifying inside the pipeline.<\/p>\n\n

\n

For his part, William Anyak Deng, undersecretary of South Sudan’s Ministry of Petroleum, explained, “The rupture has been repaired, but it has caused some solidification along the pipeline<\/em>.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

It is important to note that oil is a crucial source of revenue for the government of South Sudan, accounting for 90% of its foreign exchange earnings<\/strong>. Sudan also gets a share of the oil as a transit fee.<\/p>\n\n

Also, the Petrodar pipeline<\/strong>, one of two in Sudan, handles about two-thirds of South Sudan’s total oil exports.<\/p>\n\n

It is worth mentioning that observers have warned of a possible economic collapse and political instability in South Sudan if this vital source of petrodollars is not restored.<\/p>\n\n

However, oil exports in Sudan will resume once the wax has been removed, using hot water or diesel, Deng told reporters.<\/p>\n\n

Finally, Ma Qiang, China’s ambassador to South Sudan, said,“China will continue to provide its support and cooperation together with its partners to try to solve the problems and meet the challenges<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n

The resumption of the pipeline will bring relief to South Sudan’s economy and allow for greater stability in the region, boosting development and foreign investment in energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n
