"And our gas potential remains untapped," welcomed, in an interview with the "echoes", the Minister of energy and Mines, Dr. Awad Ahmed al - Jaz. "With luck, the sky is our only limit", he dares to add.
Chinese (Chinese National Petroleum Company), Indians (Sub-Committee Videst Limited) and Malaysian (Petronas) took one step ahead in this adventure. At the risk of being accused, sometimes to have fueled the war effort in Khartoum against southern rebels. The peace agreement concluded, in January 2005, put an end to two decades of conflict, however relayed by the Darfur crisis.

"We are poised to solve the problem," he said, in reference to the dispute between the French oil group and the British company White Nile, which claims the right to operate the same block.
