Oil reserves

The 1970's brought the discovery of oil reserves in Unity state,which drew attention from international oil companies.This unfortunately led to an engagement of oil exploration which caused displacement within the indigenous population within the region.

Unity oil field in Unity State,is situated within the Muglad rift basin and contains 150,000,00 barrels of oil.Unity state is also home to the Greater Nile Oil Pipeline which also runs throughout both Sudan and South Sudan
