The report 'Sudan's Oil Industry on The Eve of the Referendum: Facts and Analysis' - English Version was first published in December 2010

This is one of a series of USIP special reports on state building in the Republic of South Sudan following its creation on July 9, 2011. Each report analyzes a different aspect of the state-building challenge in the new country and recommends priorities for the government of South Sudan within the sector under analysis. This report focuses on South Sudan’s substantial
oil reserves and how they can be used to build and support the new nation. It sets out the key opportunities and challenges for the Repiblic of South Sudan in managing its oil sector and using its oil wealth to bridge the gap between its formal and informal economies. After summarizing background information, the report analyzes critical challenges in the oil sector the new country will face and offers reccomendations for making South Sudan's oil work in the interests of its people, with a focus on the first years of independence.

As part of its justice-and-peace agenda, the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) established an entitlement to compensation for people whose rights have been violated during the oil wars. As domestic legal process would be unrealistic, ECOS advocates for international arbitration.

The negotiations to settle Sudan’s divorce are underway. Being focused on finances and the economy, these negotiations are unlikely to produce a truly comprehensive agreement. Instead, some of the thorny issues may not be settled before 9 July, while others are likely to be ignored all together. The right to compensation for victims of oil contracts is one of these.

Report on the 2-day conference 'Sudan's Oil Industry after the Referendum' held in Juba, December 2010. It contains recommendations with regards to the post-referendum arrangements, petroleum policy, company-community relations, compensation, transparency, security, land rights and the environment.

Persistent calls for clear and transparent information on Sudan’s oil revenues have yet to yield satisfactory information, says a new report published by Global Witness. With a referendum on independence for southern Sudan just days away, oil sector transparency is now more important than ever to preserving the fragile peace between north and south.
