Sudan: Energy Ministry Official Outlines Oil Exploration Plans
Text of report in English by Sudanese news agency Suna on 16th June

Khartoum, 16th June: Undersecretary of the Ministry of Energy and Mining Engineer Hasan Muhammad Ali al-Tawm [has] announced that the plan of his ministry to explore oil includes three new areas: northwestern Sudan, Blue Nile Basin [southeastern Sudan] and Red Sea [eastern Sudan].

He explained that the promotion operations will start in the coming month.

Interviewed by Sudan news agency (Suna) on the occasion of the 11th anniversary of the National Salvation Revolution and inauguration of several oil establishments, Engineer al-Tawm said that work in the blocks (3) and (7) in Rabak and White Nile areas [central Sudan] will start after the autumn.

He added that the oil exploration has been concentrated in southcentral Sudan, continuing the works of Chevron Company. He explained that this area constitute only 15 per cent of the oil areas in the Sudan.

Engineer al-Tawm attributed the Sudan's success in exploiting its oil resources to many reasons, including setting up the strategies necessary to remove the impediments and attracting the international traditional companies, which have substantial financial and technical capabilities and have no political agenda, and establishing a consortium between these companies.

He pointed out that Sudan has mobilized its national general and private sectors to serve the oil projects as one of the top development priorities.
