China National Petro­leum Co has entered an agreement with South Sudan to boost production of existing oilfields in the young African state. This is according to a report in China Petroleum New, a CNPC-run paper.

Oil is the main source of cash for South Sudan, but output has dropped due to conflict and ageing fields. Fighting between rebels and the government has damaged some fields. CNPC’s engineering and ser­vices team will work with oil producers in South Sudan and also conduct training on tech­nologies to enhance oil recovery (EOR), the report said.
