South Sudan has signed an agreement with an American engineering firm for the construction of 10,000BOPD mini-refinery. Ventech Engineers is expected to install the plant in the country’s Upper Nile State.
Stephen Dhieu Dau, the Petroleum Minister, says that South Sudan plans to expand the refinery to “20,000 barrels per day throughput capacity in a few years,” in a statement.
The refinery would be finished within 10 months, he says, meaning, around August 2013.
