JUBA, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) -- South Sudan on Friday announced a plan to construct a new oil refinery worth 3 billion U.S. dollars at the Tharjiath field in Unity State, one of the country's key oil-producing areas.
While an existing refinery operates in Tharjiath, its capacity is limited, and inadequate road connectivity hampers the transportation of refined products to the market, said Minister of Information, Communication Technology and Postal Services Michael Makuei Lueth.
