Syria expects its natural gas production to rise to 15 million cubic meters by the end of 2026, up from about 7 million currently, Energy Minister Mohamed al-Bashir said on Sunday, as the war-torn country works to boost domestic energy supplies.
Syria has faced chronic power shortages and fuel deficits following a 14-year civil war that damaged energy infrastructure and curtailed production.
Al-Bashir was attending an Arab Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (AOPEC) ministerial meeting, being held in Kuwait.
