South Sudan says will take up to 6 months to resume some oil output - Reuters UK

Resuming production at the oilfields at Unity state would take up to one year as facilities need to be repaired after they were damaged during border fighting with Sudan earlier this year, Stephen Dhieu Dau told reporters.

He said he expected South Sudan to sign a final agreement to resume oil exports though northern pipelines by September 22 as required by the U.N. Security Council.
