PETRONAS sues South Sudan over abandoned oil fields


A unit of Malaysian oil and gas giant Petroliam Nasional Bhd. sued South Sudan for allegedly blocking a sale of its assets for US$1.25bil and instead taking over that business.

Earlier this month, state-run Nile Petroleum Corp. assumed control of Petronas’ oil fields and assets - effectively repossessing the Malaysian company’s investment - and announced it would seek a new partner to ensure operations continue.
