Banias,SANA- Energy Minister, Mohammad al-Bashir, inspected on Saturday the Baniyas Refinery after its resumption of operations with the arrival of crude oil supplies following a four-month hiatus due to a shortage of the product.
Minister of Energy told SANA that the refinery’s re-operation came after the imports of crude oil supplies under tenders announced for this purpose, which aimed to secure citizens’ basic needs for petroleum derivatives.
The Minister added that this step is part of the Ministry’s strategy to ensure the stability of the oil sector and secure basic materials for citizens, despite the challenges we are working to overcome and address the technical and logistical obstacles.
He stressed that the government attaches top priority to reforming the energy infrastructure and enhancing transparency in resource management to serve the aspired-for economic development process.
