Syria's Ministry of Energy reported on Thursday that the country produced 14.8 million barrels of oil in the first half of the year, a figure representing 79% less than levels prior to the 2011 conflict. Natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and petroleum products also saw production, totaling 1.429 billion cubic meters, 35,500 metric tons, and 3.5 million metric tons, respectively.
Despite the challenges, the government is actively working to revive its domestic oil and petroleum products industry by collaborating with foreign companies. This includes signing memorandums of understanding and contracts, with projects aimed at rehabilitating a pipeline, restarting a 12-year-defunct pumping station in Homs, and reactivating an offshore platform.
