Sudan

• In 2010, Sudan was the 17th fastest growing economy in the world.
• Sudan is a very politically stable and democratic country
• Sudan is located in north east Africa. It is bordered by the Red Sea to the north east. The Nile River divides the country between the east and the west. The capital city is Khartoum.
• Sudan was producing ± 460,000 bop/d before the country separated into North and South Sudan on July 9, 2011.

Sudan's Oil Fields and Pipelines

Sudan - Oil Blocks

Sudan - Rawat Basin (Block 7 concession size 10,000 sq.km)

Sudan - Block 7 Data

Exploration: Based on known information consisting of geophysical and geological data including 2D (6,071 line kms) 3D (430 sq km) seismic extending over the oil discovery structure, plus three discovery wells in three separate fields.

Discovery Wells: The 3 new oil fields in Block 7 are approximately 1,500 meters.

Estimated Production and Blue Sky: An analogous oilfield called Heglig/Unity is located in the Abu Grabra Rift (SW of Rawat Basin) has produced 50% of its estimated recoverable oil reserves of 2 billion barrels.

Sudan - Hydrocarbon Potential

Sudan Block 7 Geology

• The Rawat Basin is an easily accessible area. A Central Processing Facility (CPF) for Block 7 is located 60 km away. It is also an entry point for the main export oil pipeline to Port Sudan.
• The basin is part of an elongated White Nile Rift System. It lies between two major basement structural highs. It corresponds to the northern extension of the Melut Basin. The sedimentary environment is Fluvio-deltaic lacustrine and is highly comparable with the Malut Basin. Rock evaluation data indicate the presence of excellent oil prone lacustrine source rock (Type 1 Kerogen). Reservoir rock is sandstone with shales, with excellent reservoir parameters.
