South Sudan to halt oil output in absence of transit deal

摘要

Dubai-South Sudan will have to halt oil production in a matter of days if no deal is reached with the government in Khartoum on transit fees, officials from the South Sudan oil ministry and the Nile Petroleum Corporation said November 30. Exports of crude from South Sudan remain blocked as South Sudan and the government of Sudan to the north argue over $727 million in unpaid oil transit payments and the level of transit fees.
