A gas pipeline between Al-Shoula and Deir Ezzor in eastern Syria exploded on Monday night after a sectional valve was deliberately damaged, sparking a fire and cutting flows to a nearby power plant, Syrian state media said. Officials said gas from the Al-Jabsah field can no longer be delivered to the plant. The outage comes amid rising domestic fuel prices and public unrest; Energy Minister Mohammed Bashir said civil war damage has reduced Syria’s daily gas output from about 30 mln m3/d pre-2011 to 8.5 mln m3/d, while domestic demand is roughly 22–25 mln m3/d. In June Damascus signed a contract with ConocoPhillips to develop the country’s gas sector to attract investment and support reconstruction.
