Petrodar Operating Co., operator of an oil pipeline that runs from South Sudan through Sudan to the Red Sea, named Baidzawi Chemat as its acting president after the southern government expelled his predecessor, Liu Yingcai.
South Sudan’s petroleum minister, Stephen Dhieu Dau, ordered the Liu’s expulsion on Feb. 20, saying he sided with Sudan in a dispute over oil and gave “limited cooperation” in implementing a southern decision to shut down crude output. Petrodar’s biggest shareholders are China’s state-owned China National Petroleum Co. and Kuala Lumpur-based Petroliam Nasional Bhd.
