Oil Reserves in Sudan
- Sudan has proven oil reserves of 5,000,000,000 barrels (as reported in 2025) (#22 in the world), representing 0.28% of the world's total.
- As of 2025 production rates, Sudan has roughly 457 years of proven oil reserves left (crude and condensate reserves ÷ their annual production).
Oil Production in Sudan
- Sudan produced 31,804 barrels per day of oil and petroleum liquids in 2025 (#66 in the world), a decrease of 19.1% from 39,316 barrels per day in 2024.
- Of that, 30,000 barrels per day was crude oil in 2025.
- And 0 barrels per day was natural gas plant liquids (NGPL) in 2025.
