South Sudan, which holds sub-Saharan Africa’s third-biggest oil reserves, said it will take as many as three months to restore crude production to maximum capacity after a dispute with neighboring Sudan shut oilfields.
An agreement with Sudan last week allowing cross-border oil flows to resume will enable South Sudan to return production to full capacity of 350,000 barrels a day, Petroleum Minister Stephen Dhieu Dau said today in the capital, Juba.
