IT'S BACK

WHY SOUTH SUDAN?

UNTAPPED HYDROCARBON RESERVES

With 3.5 billion barrels of proven oil reserves — the third-largest in sub-Saharan Africa — nearly 90% remain untapped. South Sudan aims to reach 230,000 bpd short-term and 450,000 bpd long-term.

GROWING WORKFORCE

Over 80% of the oil and gas workforce is local, presenting significant opportunities for training, up-skilling and re-skilling, and accelerating local procurement.

RENEWABLE POTENTIAL

Substantial renewable generation and interconnection potential, including hydropower from the Nile River and solar power benefiting from eight hours of daily sunshine.

MID- & DOWNSTREAM INFRASTRUCTURE

New pipeline infrastructure to facilitate exports and reduce dependence on Sudan, plus expanded refining capacity with four new refineries planned by the decade’s end.

REGIONAL ADVANTAGE

As the sole crude producer in the region, South Sudan links the Middle East, East and Central Africa, spearheading cross-border corridors with Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.

 

 

Since 2017, SSOP has been the meeting place where investors, operators and policymakers unlock new opportunities.
