Oil majors Royal Dutch Shell and Total have slashed Syrian oil production as international sanctions make exports impossible, industry sources told Reuters.
The development is a further sign that sanctions begin to bite the regime of President Bashar al-Assad at a time when the international community is considering widening the sanctions against Iran, a much bigger oil producer.
Syrian oil represents less than 1 percent of daily global production but accounts for a vital portion of Syrian government earnings, which Western powers say could be used by Assad for a bloody military crackdown on the opposition.

Cain was right.
$5 billion in oil exports in 2010.
So much for baseless claims that they export no oil and Cain made a gaffe.
Oil majors Royal Dutch Shell and Total have slashed Syrian oil production as international sanctions make exports impossible...Of course, the Turks will be transshipping it, so will the Iraqis, war or no war.

Well done! for the first part, so said “Al Arabiya”..
Second part in brackets, how much did Saudi export amount to in 2010, for Saudi Royal clan alone? How much of that goes into building up ‘tourism’ to Mecca & spreading Islam around the world (schools), funding, err sometimes ‘owning’ western msm?
In the scheme of things, how is Chevron, for example, doing, btw?
“Well done! for the first part, so said “Al Arabiya”..”
It was a Reuters article.
In your posted article it says: “(Excerpt) Read more at alarabiya.net ...” - I just clicked on the link too. It redirects me to the “Al Arabiya” website.
But, hey, Reuters London & Al Arabiya are connected! Like I said, they ‘own’ some, if not, most of the msm.
Not sure what point you are trying to make. Are you saying the its not a Rueters article? Are you saying the info is false?
I’m saying what I’ve already said.
I have no idea what you’re trying to say either.
