South Sudan will begin pumping oil this month after nine months of a production shutdown sparked by a dispute over transportation fees with neighboring Sudan, government spokesman Barnaba Marial Benjamin said.
“The technicians, the ones who actually work on the oil wells and the pipeline, they gave an assessment to say oil can begin to flow in the next couple weeks,” Benjamin said by phone today from Juba, South Sudan’s capital.
