- Syria has proven oil reserves of 2,500,000,000 barrels (as reported in 2025) (#31 in the world), representing 0.14% of the world's total.
- As of 2025 production rates, Syria has roughly 91 years of proven oil reserves left (crude and condensate reserves ÷ their annual production).
Oil Production in Syria
- Syria produced 81,235 barrels per day of oil and petroleum liquids in 2025 (#53 in the world), an increase of 34.6% from 60,365 barrels per day in 2024.
- Of that, 75,247 barrels per day was crude oil in 2025.
- And 7,690.6 barrels per day was natural gas plant liquids (NGPL) in 2025.
