During discussions at the 12th Arab Energy Conference in Doha, the Syrian Oil Minister, Firas Hassan Kaddour, explored the possibility of reactivating the Arab Gas Pipeline with counterparts from Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan.

This initiative follows the completion of repairs on Syria's territory, as indicated by the ministry.

"The sides discussed the possibility of launching the Arab Gas Pipeline through Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, which is in the interests of these countries. Kaddour confirmed that the section of the pipeline in Syrian territory is ready for gas transportation after the repair and maintenance works were carried out," the statement read.

The ministers further underscored the significance of enhancing collaboration in the oil and gas sector.

Negotiated in 2000 by the Sinai Peninsula countries, the pan-Arab gas pipeline saw its first segment inaugurated in 2003, connecting the Egyptian field in El Arish to the Jordanian port city of Aqaba.

The initial section of the Syrian segment was constructed in 2009 by the Russian company Stroytransgaz. Before the outbreak of the war in 2011, Syria facilitated gas transit to and from Lebanon and Jordan.

In June 2022, Egypt, Lebanon, and Syria entered into an agreement aimed at facilitating the supply of Egyptian gas to Lebanon to address its electricity challenges.

Notably, the US agreed to exempt gas transit through the pipeline passing through Syria from sanctions, as confirmed by the Lebanese Foreign Ministry.

A similar agreement was signed between Beirut, Jordan, and Syria in January 2022.
