Sudan’s proven oil reserves consist of 700 mm barrels in the Muglad and Melut Basins in mostly northern Sudan, both discovered by Chevron in its pioneering exploration work in the 1970/80s. In the southern region, high potential for finding future oil reserves exists in the “Sudd” (Arabic meaning barrier for its dense aquatic vegetation) swamp. The Sudd is a massive clay-soiled bowl-type basin where the White Nile yearly overflows its tributaries as it flows north through Sudan and Egypt.
Energy professionals believe the Sudd likely holds an additional 5 bn barrels or so in recoverable reserves. Together, these aggregate reserves (Muglad, Melut and Sudd) will be sufficient to maintain production for nearly 60 years, meaning Sudan will be a major oil supplier for China for decades. (7)
Crude oil from the Sudanese interior is a very sweet crude with sulphur content less than 0.4 percent. It is paraffinic, with API 34 gravity, and is on high demand in the Far East and the Pacific.
