dc.description.abstractThe Environment and crude oil, as well as gas extraction, are closely related. The environment has been one single element that has suffered the effects of such activities and accordingly, it has attracted a bevy of international and national efforts and actions to reverse the damage already done and to prevent further damage. This study focused on assessing the effectiveness of the Petroleum Act of 2012 and international practice in protecting the environment in Ruweng Administrative Area of South Sudan. It reviewed how oil and gas extraction policies made under the Act have enhanced environmental protection in South Sudan.en_US
