（彭博社）一位政府官员表示，南苏丹正在采取措施接管国际石油公司在该国的业务，以增加其收入份额，尽管产量有所下降。

该计划将在五年内实施，反映了其他非洲国家在本国油气田发挥更积极作用的举措。南苏丹一直在提升国有尼罗河石油公司的作用，在合同到期时接管资产。    

“国有化将通过我们力所能及的培训来完成，”南苏丹石油部副部长阿哇丹尼尔·庄周五在首都朱巴对记者表示。他说，“在我们不具备专业知识的领域，我们将不得不在很短的时间内使用外国人”，直到掌握这些技能。

这个东非国家的运营商包括中国石油天然气集团公司、印度OGNC和马来西亚国家石油公司。

在经历了毁灭性的内战和两年前签署的脆弱和平协议后，南苏丹一直在努力重建经济，而社区暴力阻碍了促进经济活动的努力。最近的洪水加剧了限制，将油田的产量限制在每天 13 万桶。这比战前的约 35 万桶有所下降。 

庄表示，除非采取预防措施，否则洪水的危险仍然存在。他说，数据中心已经启用，培训中心也将建立，但外国特遣队仍将保留。 

“石油生产是一个国际商业目的地，需要技术、需要知识，而在任何地方，甚至美国，都没有 100% 的本地内容，”庄说。 

(Bloomberg) — South Sudan is taking steps to take over the operations of international oil companies in the country to increase its share of revenue, even as production declines, according to a government official.

The plan, to be implemented over five years, reflects moves by other African nations to play a more active role in their own oil and gas fields. South Sudan has been boosting the role of state-owned Nile Petroleum Corp., taking over assets as contracts expire.    

“Nationalization will be done through training where we are able,” Awow Daniel Chuang, South Sudan’s undersecretary in the Ministry of Petroleum, told reporters on Friday in Juba, the capital. “In areas where we don’t have expertise, we will have to use foreigners for a very short period of time” until those skills are acquired, he said.

Operators in the East African nation include China National Petroleum Corp, India’s OGNC and Malaysia’s Petroliam Nasional Bhd.

South Sudan has struggled to rebuild its economy after a devastating civil war and a fragile peace agreement, signed two years ago, and communal violence have hampered efforts to boost activity. Recent flooding added to constraints, limiting output from the oil fields to 130,000 barrels a day. That’s down from about 350,000 barrels before the war. 

The danger from floods will remain unless precautionary measures are taken, according to Chuang. A data center has been opened and training centers will be built, but a foreign contingent will remain, he said. 

“Oil production is an international business destination that requires technology, that requires knowledge, and everywhere, even America, does not have 100% local content,” Chuang said.
