LONDON: A Saudi energy delegation visited the oil refineries in Baniyas and Homs, two cities in the northwest of the Syrian Arab Republic, as part of cooperation between the two countries in the oil sector.
Syrian officials briefed their Saudi counterparts from the Ministry of Energy about the technical and technological capabilities at the Baniyas refinery on the Mediterranean coast and in Homs. They discussed cooperation in the oil industry, the Syrian News Agency reported.
The delegation held a video conference with the Syrian Oil Transport Company in Baniyas to review the company鈥檚 operations and plans for improving the transport system and production, the SANA added.
In June, Syria resumed exports from the Baniyas refinery, sending an initial shipment of 30,000 tonnes of non-crude petroleum products to international markets.
