Oil & Gas

Oil excavation drillings started in the Syrian coastal city of Lattakia in late September, following the construction of the Oral Touch Drilling Machine. Minister of Petroleum Sufian al-Law spoke to reporters in the city, saying that Syrian and foreign experts had already finished oil studies of the oil well and the materials discovered in Latakia. He added that drilling works in the experimental well could reach down to 3500 meters, along with continuous analyses and supervision of the discovered materials to see whether there are oil-carrying stones or any other probabilities such as gas or oil. The Minister said that in case oil has been discovered then drillings would not be done inside but outside the city by way of horizontal or slant drilling. The discovered site last year produced almost one thousand barrels of good oil brand.
