Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Plans to build a mega oil depot with a capacity of 16 million litres at the Nesitu area along the Juba-Nimule Road are underway, the national oil firm NilePet announced.<\/p>\n

Nile Petroleum Corporation Managing Director, Eng. Bernard Amuor Makeny was speaking during a visit to the site where the depot is to be constructed.<\/p>\n

Makeny described the area as strategic for the project, underscoring that South Sudan is a landlocked country and must have enough stock inside to avoid crisis related dispute or slight incidents at the border.<\/p>\n

The NilePet Director said the yet-to-be built depot will serve as a distribution station for local consumption.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis area is for strategic depot so that we can have a reserve in the country right now. We are a landlocked country and if you\u2019re a landlocked country, you must have enough stock inside the country,\u201d he said as reported on SSBC.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is because of any small dispute or any slight incident at the border. Then you\u2019re most likely going to get into serious trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think what happened in the pipeline is a good lesson for all of us as South Sudanese, that when you depend on one commodity and one direction, it can become hard when things go wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a significant move to reduce this dependency, the government has recently launched upgrading of an oil refinery in Unity State.<\/p>\n

According to the national oil firm NilePet, the Bentiu Oil Refinery in Unity State would be fully operational in around 8 months to supply local markets with fuel products at a capacity of 10,000 barrels per day.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s crude oil export, which is the chief revenue generator, plummeted following damage to one of the pipelines passing through Sudan amid the ongoing civil war there.<\/p>\n
