adminwithdrawal of Sudanese workers and technology made some wells temporarily inaccessible, an oil official said.
Unity State oil minister William Garjang Gieng said 15 of 138 wells are out of action in Unity and Mid oil fields, causing the state’s output to drop to around 80 000 to 95 000 barrels per day (bpd), down from around 115 000 to 120 000 bpd.
South Sudan produces about 75 percent of the formerly united Sudan’s roughly 500 000 bpd, although these numbers can vary with conflict, weather and other factors.
Sudan’s total production was around 450 000 bpd in June, the oil minister at the time said. – Reuters.
