For the first time in 14 years, oil exports have been carried out in Syria. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to the Ministry of Energy, oil resources exceeding the country's domestic needs were sent to international markets. 600 thousand barrels of crude oil were loaded onto the Nissos Christiana tanker from the port of Tartus and handed over to B Serve Energy company.
Officials consider this process an important step in testing Syria's energy system. Riyad al-Jubasi, a representative of the Ministry of Energy, emphasized that the oil was extracted from the country's fields and processed at the Baniyas and Homs refineries.
This situation indicates the restoration of Syria's production capacity. Additionally, Maan Pasha, head of the Syrian Oil Transport Company, stated that the resumption of exports could be a significant turning point in the sector.
In his opinion, this shipment is not only economically important but also demonstrates the efficiency of transport and port infrastructure. Until 2011, Syria exported an average of 380 thousand barrels of oil per day.
However, due to the civil war and international sanctions, exports had almost stopped. Therefore, today's shipment is considered a step of great importance not only economically but also strategically.
This process plays an important role in restoring the country's economy and developing the energy sector.
