South Sudan’s total gross crude oil and condensate production in 2020 was valued at 151,400 barrels per day (bd), declining with a CAGR of more than -5% during the period 2021-2025. All South Sudan’s resources lay onshore, and it has been stated that the country has the third-largest oil reserves in Sub-Saharan Africa giving it a high potential for development prospects however, civil unrest has thus far prevented the country from doing so. There are a handful of companies involved in South Sudan’s oil and gas industry the largest of which is CNPC with current production as of 2021 of approximately 26,000 bd of crude oil, followed by the national oil company Petroliam Nasional Bhd with the production of 25,000 bd. Other companies involved in the country include ONGC, Nile Petroleum, Sinopec, and MOG Energy.

As more countries sign up to the Paris Agreement and companies seek to reduce carbon emissions, the country may look to develop their significant gas resources (3Tcf proved, EIA 2019). These gas resources have previously been reinjected or flared but are now becoming a more valuable commodity that companies are seeking to utilize. However, the lack of a current gas market and associated infrastructure in the country will create challenges for the development of the country’s currently untapped natural gas resources.

What are the market dynamics in South Sudan’s exploration & production market?

In terms of natural gas production, no gas production is currently commercialized from the fields. Significant investment is required in South Sudan to build out its gas infrastructure to allow its gas resources to be commercialized. The current production and development outlook for South Sudan is looking positive as blocks have come back online after multi-year shutdowns and the participants are now looking to expand production through infill drilling in Block 1 with the aim to increase, and plateau production at approximately 55,000 bd by 2023. Furthermore, Block 5A has recommenced production after being shut down in 2014 as a result of the civil war. Blocks 3 and 7, operated by DAR Petroleum are forecasted to see a plateau in production to 2023 at approximately 100,000 bd of crude oil due to the ongoing drilling and production enhancement campaign at the Poloch, Moleeta, Fal, and Gumry fields.

2020 production was lower than the previous year due to the country joining OPEC+ members in reducing output to stabilize prices as a result of market impacts caused predominantly by COVID-19. In the near term, it is forecast that South Sudan will achieve production of approximately 150,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Currently, South Sudan has no planned or announced field developments however this may change in the coming years as a result of the ongoing licensing round. Moreover, in 2021 the Ministry of Petroleum has launched the country’s first licensing round for five blocks ranging in acreage from 4,000 to 25,000 km2. The Blocks available in the round are Blocks A1 -6, B1 & B2, C1 & C2, D1 & D2, E1 & E2. Interested parties will be able to request information from the Ministry until the 23rd of August.

Oranto Petroleum has plans to acquire 2D seismic data for the South-Eastern section of Block 3 and subsequently plan a drilling campaign along with Nile Petroleum and the Ministry of Petroleum. Exploration in the country does not come without its challenges, however, such as a lack of domestic technical research capabilities, lack of adequate logistics networks, and lack of recent exploration success.

What are the major assets of South Sudan’s gross crude oil and condensate production?

Block 3 and 7, Block 1, Block 5A are the major assets of the gross crude oil and condensate production.

Which are the key players in South Sudan’s exploration & production market?

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
