Sudan and South Sudan

Country Analysis Brief Overview

South Sudan shut down its oil production just six months after gaining independence, as a result of an ongoing dispute with Sudan over transit fees and other post-independence issues.
South Sudan's oil shutdown largely effects Asia, as most companies operating oil fields are from China, Malaysia, and India. Additionally, oil exports from Sudan and South Sudan are almost exclusively sent to Asian markets.
