The Syrian Petroleum Company has begun extracting oil from recently controlled fields and sending output to the Homs and Baniyas refineries, News.az reports, citing CNN.
One of those fields, al-Omar oilfield, which is the country’s largest, came under government control recently after a lightning offensive against Kurdish forces who had held the site for nearly a decade and used it as a military base.
