1st WNPOC OIL FIELDS.
In 2006 White Nile Petroleum Operating Co started production at the Thar Jath field in Block 5A. The company was jointly owned by Petronas of Malaysia (68.9%), ONGC Videsh of India (24.1%) and Sudapet of Sudan (7%). The initial rate of production was 40,000 bbl/day, expected to rise to 54,000 bbl/day by 2009 and then to decline to 39,000 bbl/day in 2011. Crude oil from the field is treated at a new central processing facility, then transported via a new 172-kilometer pipeline to a pump station in Heglig owned and operated by Greater Nile Petroleum Operating Company (GNPOC). From there it is carried by GNPOC's 1,542 kilometres (958 mi) pipeline to Port Sudan on the Red Sea.
