Issue 273 - 13 Mar 2014 | 3 minute read

Oil production from South Sudan edged up to 166,458 b/d on 4 March, according to the latest figures from the Ministry of Petroleum. Production had been cut to about 155,000 b/d earlier in the year after the outbreak of fighting between government troops and rebel groups. “Production has crept up from about 155,000 b/d just after Christmas,” said an oil industry source in Juba. “They’ve perhaps opened up a couple more wells, or maybe the well dynamics are particularly good at the moment.”
