Heglig (also spelled Heglieg) is a small town in South Kurdufan state in central Sudan, near the border with Southern Sudan. The area was contested during the Sudanese Civil War. The South Sudanese Sudanese People's Liberation Army (SPLA) rebels attacked the oil rigs of Heglig to damage this important source of revenue for the Sudanese government.Fact|date=March 2008

Heglig oil field

Heglig is situated within the Muglad Basin, a rift basin which contains much of Sudan's proven oil reserves.
