Chinese-supplied equipment, including four reactor bodies, reactor internals, furnace coils and steam-generator components, is being installed as part of Baniyas Refinery’s overhaul.

The project will raise capacity from around 80,000 to 130,000 barrels per day; the overhaul is expected to take about two months, with the refinery expected to restart around November 2026.

The Chinese companies that supplied and are supplying Baniyas Refinery are LS LANZHUO and TOPCIN, industrial engineering and refinery-equipment companies providing the components for its overhaul.

Baniyas is a processing and refining facility, not an extraction site:

it takes crude oil supplied from Syria’s eastern fields and processes it into finished products such as diesel, gasoline and other fuels. Syria’s crude is relatively heavy and sulfur-rich, making it more difficult to refine, while the new equipment should make processing it more efficient. The refinery’s reactors had not been replaced since the early 1980s.

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi:

We are planning to distribute a portion of our oil exports through Turkey and another portion through Syria, which will allow us to increase the volume of oil flowing towards the Mediterranean Sea.

In the initial phase, we plan to transport one million barrels per day towards Syria, with the intention of implementing a second phase later.

@Mena_Live

Also hints at acceleration of construction for the Kirkuk–Baniyas pipeline, which is designed with a capacity of 2 million barrels of oil per day.

Morocco’s Nador West Med, located in the eastern Rif region of northeastern Morocco, welcomed the large container ship MSC Nita in late August 2026 for its first operational trial.

The $5 billion mega-port is designed to handle 5 million twenty-foot equivalent units annually, with a long-term target of 12 million. For Syria, it could potentially serve as a storage and transshipment hub for Syrian oil and gas, allowing exports to be transferred to larger vessels bound for European and American markets as Syria develops into a regional energy-transit hub.
