In November 2017, internal sources reported that the newly created Petrolines Group (Petco) is being staffed in order to take full control of the operatorship of Block 2B. Both Sudapet and Petco will share the operatorship (50% of interest each) and their primary target will be to increase the output of the producing fields from current 22,000 b/d (as of September 2017) to a planned target of 26,000 b/d. To reach this target, Petrolines is planning to drill 12 new wells.  On 6 November 2016, the state company Sudan Petroleum Corp (Sudapet) and the - also national company - Petrolines for Crude Oil Ltd (Petco) were awarded the Block 2B, located in the south of Sudan, Muglad Basin. In August 2017, the block continued to be operated by the former partnership (Greater Nile Petroleum Company, GNPOC).  The two companies are seeking partners to continue developing the block which as of September 2017 was producing approximately 22,000 b/d of oil. The China National Petroleum Company (CNPC), which is part of the former operating partnership has tried to extend the previous contract conditions but the government is only keen to discuss a farm out of interest between 20% to 30%.  Block 2B was previously part of the Blocks 1, 2, 4 contract that was awarded in 1997 to the GNPOC consortium (Petronas, CNPC, Sudapet and State Petroleum).  Petco is a company 100% owned by the Sudanese Ministry of Petroleum and Gas with operations on oil transportation, supply and shipment.  Â
