南苏丹油田将重启恢复生产

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社8月25日朱巴报道， 南苏丹Toma South油田为恢复石油生产进行的加紧准备工作将在8月25日达到高潮，届时油田的1、2和4号区块将重新开始生产。

在这些许可证上恢复石油生产标志着南苏丹和苏丹之间的历史性合作，将是南苏丹经济进步的关键时刻。

南苏丹的石油和大先锋作业公司(GPOC),得到了苏丹2B作业公司 (2B OPCO) 的支持，从苏丹的石油和天然气部来的苏丹技术团队已经在该地区工作了一个月以恢复设施、确保安全。

南苏丹石油和天然气部长Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth和苏丹石油大臣阿扎里 • 阿卜达拉(Azhari Abdalla)，和南苏丹总统萨尔瓦•基尔•马亚尔迪特（H.E. Salva Kiir Mayardiit）的直接监督下， GPOC作业的工厂准备恢复运营。

南苏丹第一副总统塔班•登格•盖（Taban Deng Ga）将军将于2018年8月25日主持重启仪式。

根据这一声明，1号、2号和4号区块现在已经完全投入使用，Toma South初始石油日产量为4.5万桶。

接下来将是El Nar、El Toor、Manga和Unity油田，与此同时，两部委将共同努力解除Sudd石油作业公司的5A区块，并在2018年底恢复生产。

南苏丹共和国石油部和苏丹共和国石油和天然气部将在今后几个月里努力解决第5A区块的剩余技术问题。

南苏丹石油部长将于9月5日至7日在开普敦举行的2018年非洲石油与电力会议上发表讲话，届时他将向投资者通报最新进展。
