“The MoP marketing effort for the period of June 2018 to May 2019 continued to be stronger given the extremely difficult global crude oil environment. With supply out-stripping demand and the dramatic fall in prices during the period, the marketing group has clearly demonstrated the capability of the Ministry of Petroleum staff and the Marketing Team to successfully sell the country’s entitlement share of crude oil at the best prices possible.

“The Petroleum Revenue Management Act is strongly supported by the MoP and provides further guidance on crude oil revenue management as well as additional transparency under new reporting obligations.

 

“The implementation of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) has also been strongly supported by the Ministry and, although progress to date has been limited due to the capacity constraints of the Ministry as well as the need to address other urgent priorities, the MoP and the government of South Sudan continue to remain committed to its effective implementation.“

 

It added: “The Ministry has also initiated the practice of providing periodic press releases which outline recent sales and production volumes, crude oil revenues, tariff and assistance fee payments to Sudan as well as other relevant marketing data.”
