Oil refinery in Baniyas, Syria

The Baniyas Refinery is an oil refinery in Baniyas, Syria. It is the largest oil refinery in Syria. It is owned by the Baniyas Oil Company, which is managed by the Ministry of Oil and Mineral Resources. Of its four refining units, two process light crude and two process heavy crude. Pipelines connect the refinery to the oil fields in Deir ez-Zor and Al-Hasakah. It houses a thermal power station that runs on fuel oil and has an installed capacity of 30 MW.

During the Syrian civil war, the refinery processed up to 125,000 barrels per day imported from Iran by oil tankers, which docked at Baniyas oil terminal. Following the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, it was forced to temporarily halt operations due to the cessation of Iranian imports.
