Quote: Sudan 'stealing oil' from South - Pagan Amum Both Sudan and South Sudan are heavily dependent on oil revenues Continue reading the main story Sudan: Coping with divorcePointing to war? Forced to choose between Sudans How to end deadly cattle rustling Garang's ex-chef savours freedom South Sudan has accused Khartoum of stealing its oil amid a row about how to split revenues after southern independence.
At least one million barrels of oil are reportedly being held in Port Sudan.
Sudan denies that exports are being halted but says it will take 23% of revenues until a final deal is reached on how to share out oil money.
South Sudan seceded in July, taking 75% of oil production, but this is exported through Sudan's territory.
China, a major buyer of oil from both countries, has urged them to resolve their differences but five days of negotiations in Ethiopia have failed to reach a deal.
The BBC's James Copnall in Khartoum says both economies are in real difficulty, so getting the best deal is vital, and any halt to oil exports will hit hard.
He adds that the emotions provoked by years of conflict, and South Sudan's secession, are still high, making coming to an agreement both are happy with particularly difficult.
On Monday, Sudan's oil ministry said it was halting exports from the south but its chief negotiator later said exports would continue but Sudan would take a 23% cut, backdated to July.
"We decided to take our dues in kind and that was misunderstood as that we stopped the export of oil of the South," Sabir Mohamed Hassan told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme.
But southern negotiator Pagan Amum accused Khartoum of stealing the oil and said anyone who bought it would face legal action.
"If the GOS [Government of Sudan] does steal South Sudan oil, or if others try to purchase the south's stolen oil from the GOS, the Republic of South Sudan will take all legal measures necessary," he said in a statement.
South Sudan has to export oil via the north because it has no port or refineries of its own.
