Sudan exported $317 million in crude oil exports in 2020. In 2021, its oil fields produced 59,000 barrels per day (bpd). The Sudan Oil Refinery has the capacity to refine 90-95,000 bpd. The Sudanese government also receives an in-kind royalty payment of 14,000 bpd from the government of South Sudan for oil pipeline transit rights to Port Sudan. Sudan's oil sector suffers from years of underinvestment. The sector's productive capacity could be boosted with the introduction of improved technology, staff capacity building, and modernization of existing physical plants. Government-owned Sudapet and SudaGas are the entities controlling Sudan’s oil and gas sector.
