朱巴（彭博社）—南苏丹信息部长迈克尔·马库伊·卢斯 (Michael Makuei Lueth) 表示，南苏丹在北部阿达尔油田发现了新的原油，并计划在今年年底前投产。

卢斯周一在首都朱巴通过电话表示，这些石油将与附近由达尔石油运营公司管理的帕洛奇油田相连。Lueth 说，石油部长 Awow Daniel Chuang 于周五向内阁宣布了这一发现。

“一旦完成连接，生产就会开始，生产可能会在今年年底开始，”卢斯说，但没有透露更多细节。“这是一个新发现，因此人们必须做很多事情才能投入生产。它需要一条管道将其连接到主管上。”

饱受战争摧残的南苏丹正试图通过恢复原油生产来实现复苏。五年内战期间，产量已从 13 万桶/日增至 18 万桶/日。

 JUBA (Bloomberg) - South Sudan has made a new crude find in the northern oilfields of Adar and plans production by the end of the year, Information Minister Michael Makuei Lueth said.

The oil will be linked to the nearby Paloch oilfields that are managed by Dar Petroleum Operating Co., Lueth said Monday by phone from the capital, Juba. Petroleum Minister Awow Daniel Chuang announced the discovery to the cabinet on Friday, Lueth said.

“It will start as soon as they finish connectivity and the production will likely begin towards the end of this year,” Lueth said, without giving further details. “This is a new discovery and hence people will have to do so many things in order get to production. It needs a pipeline to connect it to the main pipe.”

Ruined by war, South Sudan is trying to recover by resuming crude production. Output has increased to 180,000 bpd from 130,000 bpd during its five-year civil war.
