An agreement has been signed with the previous regime to resume the extraction of oil and natural gas from the "QSD" areas.

The Ministry of Oil and Mineral Resources confirmed that the resumption of oil and natural gas extraction from northeastern Syria was based on a previously existing contract, which has been legally reviewed and amended to align with the interests of the Syrian people, initially for a period of three months.

Ahmad Al-Suleiman, the Ministry's Public Relations official, stated to "SANA" that "a comprehensive review of the contract has been conducted to ensure its compliance with national laws, meet the needs of the local market, and enhance the operation of power generation stations."

Al-Suleiman added, "The Ministry will continue to work on providing the necessary energy through all possible means to meet the citizens' needs and improve the services provided to them."
