South Sudan oil exports halted after pipeline rupture
South Sudan The location of the damaged pipeline section in a war zone is preventing engineers from addressing the damage, Bloomberg reported.
South Sudan exports oil via its northern neighbour, Sudan, which declared force majeure and suspended the oil exports from Port Sudan on the Red Sea.
Force majeure was declared on March 16, according to local media.
The incident was noted by Sudanese authorities when an impeded flow was detected in mid-February. This was followed by a severe loss of pressure and a leak, according to Bloomberg.
Concerns were also sparked earlier this year when Sudan’s main refinery, the 100,000-bpd al-Jaili facility near Khartoum, was hit by shelling in January and February.
