Sudan's oil and gas minister, Dr. Mohamed Zayed Awad, said, on Wednesday, that the country's oil industry faces the challenges of reducing production and depleting a number of wells and fields. Sudan is striving to increase its oil production, after most of the oil wells went to the state of South Sudan, following the separation in 2011, by up to 75%. Sudan's oil production currently ranges between 100 and 120 barrels a day.
In his address to the seventh conference of the Sudanese Society for Petroleum Geology, the minister said that the oil industry in the country faces the challenges of low production and depleting a number of wells and fields. He called on the companies working in the field of oil and gas to support the scientific institutions, to ensure the supply of qualified cadres.
He called on institutions to develop their curricula to meet the requirements of the labor market. He also expressed his hope that the conference will reach out to the challenges of the oil industry in the country.
"The oil and gas industry is one of the most important pillars of economic growth, especially as Sudan is characterized by the diversity and abundance of reservoirs promising great reserves," said Mohamed Abu Fatima Abdullah, director general of the General Organization for Geological Research.
He hoped that the conference will produce results that will support the global development in exploration and extraction, attracting national and foreign capital, providing the right technical information and paying attention to the safety of the environment.
