Where are Syria's oil and gas fields and power stations?
95 fields classified by type, 14 main power plants by type, 95 substations and 24 gas pipeline segments totalling 243 km. Every feature is linked to its governorate, district and sub-district, with Arabic and English names.
In short
65 oil fields, 19 gas fields and 11 combined fields.
Capacity is recorded for only 4 plants; the largest is AL-Forat Dam (824 MW).
Governorate with most fields: Deir-ez-Zor (38).
Who it is for
Investors in energy and its rehabilitation, engineers planning grid connections, and researchers or journalists who need one map of the whole infrastructure.
Method: what we add to the raw data
- Arabic names in all layers were re-encoded correctly.
- Political control fields present in the source layers were removed; the product is infrastructure only.
- Oil, gas and combined fields were merged into one layer with a unified classification, dropping 4 duplicates by name and type.
- Text capacities ("3x40MW", "824 MW") were converted to a number in MW (capacity_mw) for 4 of 14 plants.
- 2 military facilities listed among the power plants were excluded.
- Every feature was linked by location to its governorate, district and sub-district, and pipeline lengths were computed in km.
- A per-governorate table: fields by type, plants and capacity, substations and pipeline length.
