The chamber has begun technical assistance which will support the country in building an enabling environment for business and a world-class oil industry.
\nAs per the agreement, the chamber will conduct an immediate requirement study of the oil and gas sector in South Sudan and outline the vital institutional and policy reforms needed to strengthen capacity across the country\u2019s value chain. The chamber will also work towards important energy access initiatives and mobilise investment for the country.<\/p>\n
Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth, minister of petroleum in South Sudan, said, \u201cWe continue to do a remarkable job when it comes to oil field restoration. We are experiencing an increase in production. However, capacity building programmes are needed to have our natives work and manage our oil resources properly. We welcome the support of the oil sector through the AEC in its collaboration with our country.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis partnership with the AEC once again proves the high level of trust and genuine cooperation that is required to develop our country. \tAssuring energy access is important for every South Sudanese in our march towards economic growth,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
NJ Ayuk, executive chairman at the AEC, said, \u201cSouth Sudan is East Africa\u2019s only mature oil producer so the interest of oil companies to invest in the market as it puts back damaged field into production is increasing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNow is the time for the oil industry to go around the country\u2019s efforts to build a sustainable hydrocarbons sector whose revenues equitably benefit all South Sudanese. The boosting of the country\u2019s oil sector is a priority as it will provide a pillar for the development of East Africa\u2019s entire energy value-chain,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
