South Sudan: Full oil production could take 1 year

(AP) ? South Sudan says it will up to a year to restart full oil production in some of its oil fields due to damage done by Sudanese forces during clashes last in April.

Speaking Thursday, South Sudanese Minister of Petroleum and Mining Stephen Dhieu Dau said assessments are being conducted by teams from the ministry and oil operators in the country to determine exactly how long it will take to resume pumping oil. All of South Sudan's oil is produced in Unity and Upper Nile states, along the border with Sudan.

According to the Minister, Upper Nile's well could take four to six months to resume full production, while the Unity field could take between ten and twelve months.
