The Minister of Oil and Mineral Resources, Dr. Firas Qaddour, explained in a statement to news correspondent that putting the well into production adds more than 150,000 cubic meters of gas per day to the gas network, which contributes to the gas network’s ability to meet energy needs, within the framework of ongoing efforts to improve and develop the oil and gas sector in Syria.
