Details of the ConocoPhillips gas rehabilitation deal
Reuters reported that the chairman of ConocoPhillips signed a contract with the Syrian government and another partner to rehabilitate gas fields in the country. The agreement aims to increase the gas available for power generation, with effects expected as early as the beginning of next year. Neither the financial value of the contract nor the names of the gas fields covered by the rehabilitation work have been disclosed.
