Sudan starts oil exports
Sudan, Economics, 8/31/1999
Sudan on Monday exported the first shipment of its crude oil. A carrier heading for Singapore was loaded with 600,000 barrels of oil from Port Sudan harbor.
On this occasion, Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir presided over a ceremony in Port Sudan, in which he stressed in a speech he delivered that oil revenues will be used in developing Sudan.
The Sudanese oil is transported via a 1,610 pipeline, linking the biggest oil field in Sudan in Hajliej in the southern province of Kardofan to the site where oil is poured in Bashayar.
Oil reserves at Hajleij are estimated at 800 million barrels and current local production is estimated at 150,000 barrels every day.
