Syrian Petroleum Company Delegation Inspects Oil Fields in Rmelan and Suwaydiyah

ARK News.. A Syrian media source reported that a delegation from the Syrian Petroleum Company (SPC), accompanied by the Head of Internal Security in Hasaka province, Brigadier General Marwan Al-Ali, conducted a visit on Monday, February 9, 2026, to the Hasaka Fields Directorate, where they met with its management. The visit comes in implementation of the agreement provisions concerning the handover of the Rmelan and Suwaydiyah oil fields to Syrian state institutions.

The delegation held a press conference during which it responded to journalists’ questions regarding the future of the fields, management mechanisms, the possibility of reducing fuel prices after the start of full production, and whether part of the revenues could be allocated to the local area.

The delegation also toured the Awda oil field, part of the Rmelan fields in the countryside of Qamishlo, where they reviewed the status of the fields and listened to the demands of workers.

Deputy Executive Director of the Syrian Petroleum Company, Walid Al-Youssef, stated that the visit included meetings with the staff of the Hasaka Fields Directorate and inspections of several oil fields. He noted that a number of agreements have been concluded with the company, which will contribute to supporting the oil and gas sectors and, consequently, to developing infrastructure in the town of Rmelan.

Al-Youssef emphasized that the Syrian Petroleum Company will retain existing staff in their positions while increasing their salaries, expressing gratitude to the workers in the oil fields for preserving these facilities due to their importance.

Since January 24, 2026, the Syrian Petroleum Company has begun pumping raw gas from the Jibsa fields in Hasaka to the Furuqlus Gas Plant in the countryside of Homs at a pressure of 35 bar, as part of steps aimed at boosting production and securing gas supplies designated for electricity generation.
