Sudanese Minister of Energy and Mining Awad al-Jaz stated that the Canadian company Talisman has resumed its work in the consortium of companies that implement the petroleum production project in Sudan.

The minister denied certain negative depiction regarding the the future of the company's position in Sudan as being vicious political rumors and that the company will not be affected by it.
