South Sudan: Oil sales figures

The government published oil sales figures on 23 July showing that its share of marketed oil was 1m barrels in June, 2.2m barrels in July and a projected 3.2m barrels in August. Assuming an average government share in sales of 60%, that puts total sales at an average of about 55,000 b/d in June, 118,000 b/d in July and 172,000 b/d in August. The pipeline shutdown will not affect August oil sales because the linefill will be sufficient to meet commitments.
