The Government of South Sudan plans to resume oil production and export some 35,000 barrels of crude per day by road until two pipelines are concluded.
The plan was reported by the influential Wall Street Journal yesterday quoting the oil national minister Stephen Dhieu Dau.The Government will use tracks to bring the crude from the oil fields to the port of Mombasa, in Kenya.
South Sudan was producing about 350,000 barrels of crude per day when it shut down oil operations over one month ago.
The government has prepared an austerity plan to cover the lack of revenue after the oil shutdown.
The road transport of crude would allow the government to get some much needed income to run the country.
