PetroDar is comprised of the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) (41% share), Petronas of Malaysia (40%), Sudapet of Sudan (8%), SINOPEC of China (6%), and Al Thani Corporation of United Arab Emirates (5%).[1]

PetroDar is currently (2008) engaged in oil exploration and production in blocks 3 and 7, which are oil concession areas located in the Melut Basin in Southern Sudan.[2] The company's production in this area reportedly accounted for almost half of Sudan's total crude oil output in late 2006.[3]
