Syria's Government Takes Control of Rmeilan Oil Field Amid Economic Revitalization Efforts

On Monday, a Syrian government delegation visited the Rmeilan oil field in the northeast of the country to initiate the handover process following a recent agreement with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
The delegation comprised representatives from various government entities, including General Marwan Ali, head of internal security in Hasaka province, Colonel Ahmad Ahmad, director of Airport and Border Crossing Security, and Amjad Nakhal, assistant to the president of the General Authority of Civil Aviation, along with officials from the Syrian Oil Company.

Technical Visit for Field Assessment

Safwan Sheikh Ahmad, director of institutional communication at the Syrian Oil Company, stated that technical teams and engineers will conduct an exploratory visit to the Rmeilan and Suwayda fields to assess their technical condition and operational readiness for the next phase of operations.

Worker Guarantees and Expected Salary Improvements

During the visit, the government delegation assured that all workers at the Rmeilan facilities will retain their positions, with efforts to improve their salaries and living conditions. They emphasized that oil resources are a national asset for all Syrians without exception.

It was also noted that the revitalization of the oil fields will support state finances and improve economic conditions in the upcoming phase.

Comprehensive Agreement for Northeast Reorganization

In late January 2026, the Syrian government announced a comprehensive agreement with the SDF, which includes an immediate ceasefire and a gradual integration of forces and administrative institutions, aimed at unifying Syrian territories and reestablishing control over border crossings and strategic resources, particularly oil and gas fields.
