Syria is the shortest land path between Iraqi and Gulf hydrocarbons and the Mediterranean. One gas line is already flowing; the crude artery that would bypass the Strait of Hormuz entirely is the subject of memoranda signed in July 2026.
Last reviewed —Solid lines are operational; dashed lines are inactive, partial or planned. Red is crude oil, amber is natural gas. These are simplified indicative polylines between known nodes, drawn for cartographic illustration only. They are not survey alignments and must not be used for engineering, permitting or right-of-way purposes.

Any restored transit volume interfaces with Syria's own refining base at Homs and Baniyas.
Syria's largest, with a nameplate capacity of 125,000 bpd. It has been operating at roughly 95,000 bpd because of facility degradation, and resumed full production in May 2026. It is the designated Mediterranean end-point of the Kirkuk–Baniyas line.
Syria's second refinery, with a capacity of 100,000 bpd, sitting at the junction of the M5 north–south spine and the Euphrates east–west corridor.
A new-build refinery has been announced for a site roughly 50 km east of Homs, intended to offset degradation at Baniyas. See the project tracker for sources.
