“Syria produces relatively modest quantities of oil and gas but the country’s location is strategic in terms of energy transit. Syria is the only relatively significant crude oil producing country in the Eastern Mediterranean region, which includes Jordan, Lebanon, Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. Syria produced about 400,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) of crude and other petroleum liquids in 2010. While almost all of its oil is exported to Europe, Syria’s natural gas is used in reinjection for enhanced oil recovery and for domestic electricity generation. Although Syria produces relatively modest quantities of oil and gas, its location is strategic in terms of regional security and prospective energy transit routes. Regional integration in the energy sector is expected to increase as a result ongoing plans for the expansion of the regional oil and gas pipeline networks connecting Syria with neighboring countries Turkey, Iraq, and Iran.”
