石油设备网讯 据国民报4月17日报道称,南苏丹计划在未来五年内吸引30亿美元的能源投资,以在其毁灭性的内战结束后吸引外国投资用于开发其石油资源,该国在非洲拥有庞大的石油资源。
“从现在起的五年内,我们应该能够开采更多的石油,通过提高石油采收率,我们的日产量将接近30万桶,”南苏丹石油管理局局长Awow Daniel Chuang 在迪拜接受《国民报》采访时表示。
他补充称:“我认为我们应该关注15亿美元的上游投资”。
南苏丹是世界上最年轻的国家,201年脱离苏丹,拥有非洲第三大石油储量,估计有70亿桶,还有更多的资源尚未开发。经过两年的内战摧毁石油设施后,该国目前的产能低于16.5万桶/日。
现在,在达成和平协议之后,南苏丹正在寻求外国投资和恢复石油产量的专业知识。石油产量几乎占南苏丹出口收入的全部。
南苏丹预计年底前将日产量提高到19万桶,届时该国还计划开展首次地质调查,以确定开采特许权。

South Sudan looks to attract $3bn in investments to develop its energy sector
South Sudan is looking to attract $3 billion across its energy sector over the next five years as it courts foreign investment to develop its oil resources - one of Africa’s largest - after a devastating civil war.
"In five years from now, we should be able to hit additional oil, using enhanced oil recovery, we’ll be close to 300,000 barrels per day,” Awow Daniel Chuang, director general for petroleum authority told The National in an interview in Dubai.
"I think we should be looking at $1.5bn" of upstream investments, he added.
South Sudan, the world’s youngest country and which broke away from Sudan in 2011, has Africa’s third-largest oil reserves at an estimated 7 billion barrels, with more resources still unexplored. The country currently produces below capacity at 165,000 bpd after a two-year civil war devastated oil facilities.
Now South Sudan is seeking foreign investment and expertise in reviving oil production, which accounts for nearly all of its export revenues, after a peace deal.
South Sudan expects to increase production capacity to 190,000 bpd by year-end, at which time the country also aims to start its first-ever geological survey to map out concessions.
