The sales of the Company hit 882,724 tons of phosphate with a value of SYP 3 billion (1 USD = 47 SYP).

The Syrian phosphate is considered as one of the mineral resources which achieve considerable financial revenues that support the national economy and the state treasury with the foreign currency through exporting raw and washed phosphate, in addition to investing the remaining amount locally in manufacturing detergents and fertilizers.

Last October, Syria and India signed a memo of understanding on developing the sector of phosphate and fertilizers to produce phosphoric acid, and various types of phosphate fertilizers to meet the needs of the Syrian and Indian markets.

Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources has evaluated Syria’s production of phosphate at 4 million tons annually, of which about 600,000 tons are used in manufacturing fertilizers while the rest is exported to several countries.

Allaw said that It had been contracted with two Investment companies to carry out surveying and prospecting for oil products in large areas in Syria, pointing out that the ministry is working to meet the increasing demand of oil products and especially of gas will be next week for 90 gas cylinders and 375 gas cylinders New this year, contributes to the greater availability of the substance to consumers.

He called to focus on the reality of working quarries in the province and its organization of work and investment to optimize the search for alternative sites and taking into account the remoteness and its proximity to the planned schemes and accommodation as well as from agricultural land to preserve green zones .

In turn, Khalid Al-Ahmad pointed Governor of Idlib to maintain relay the reality of quarries because of the specificity to maintain being in nature farming and 21 are an infinite need to regularize their status, indicating that the maintenance work in coordination with the concerned authorities to look for alternative sites, and providing facilities for the settlement of the situation of quarries mentioned that the province is over the problem of infringement on passing oil pipelines.

Eng. Nasrallah Shehadi Branch Manager of Geology reviewed reality of work and plans and programs, assessments and proposals for the development work including the need to secure car field for the field tours and staffing increased numerical and cooperation of stakeholders in the prevention of overloads on the main roads and the difficulty in securing alternative locations.

He added that the total number of quarries licensed to maintain arrived until the end of last year to 81 an infinite of which 66 quarries grinding and 15 quarries stone blocks are distributed in most areas of the province while the total production of gravel 51 million and 347 thousand tons and rock masses 50 919 tonnes was also the organization of 45 set the violation and the seizure of 43 a different mechanism.

Allaw during a meeting with the concerned in mineral resources in Hama stressed the importance of encouraging investors to invest in this quarry that exceed the usable space to invest by 1000 acres , adding that the production of these quarries is big with growing demand, especially export, where quantities are above exported 95 percent of the total production of it.

He pointed out the importance of preparing a detailed memorandum of comprehensive and realities of working in the quarries of the study and access to the best methods to ensure that stimulate investment in addition to adopting a plan for stone and building materials found in Hama and the 124 quarries an in order to rehabilitation and regulation mechanism of operation .

He stressed the need to invest more of the quarry in Albelaas area being one of the promising areas and relieve the pressure on the diggers zone Kefrbhm which also has been invested more than half a century, pointing to the ministry’s readiness to cooperate with the province to create ways to facilitate access to oil pipelines passing the maintenance and guarantee their protection.

oil minister said that the ministry is seeking to take further action to protect these lines, which extends for a distance of 10 thousand km and feed various regions of Syria with oil and oil derivatives, indicating that the measures include increasing the number of points of electronic surveillance and the installation of more stations and valves, pressure gauge to detect any attempt to prepare them with a study in collaboration with the Centre for scientific research include monitoring the movement of tanks and fuel tanks on a large scale.

Abut exploration projects and oil and new gas that is currently underway is expected to begin during the coming period, he added that a foreign company will begin the work of prospecting and exploration in the area of al-Ghab and the Syrian coast during next May amid expectations of positive indicators pointing out that the domestic production of oil is stable and good in When will gas production soon increased compared to previous years as a result there has ambitious plans to increase production and improve performance and achieve a surplus in the production and supply of gas to Syria will lead to the delivery of gas to other sectors such as cities industrialized and saved for use as fuel for transportation such as buses and cars, as the compressed natural gas safer of the environment and less expensive compared to the rest of the oil derivatives.

For his part, Ahmed Shehadeh Khalil governor of Hama said that the province is almost devoid of any problems or irregularities relating to the availability of petroleum derivatives referring to maintain full readiness to provide necessary support for the successful expansion of investment Musiaf marble and to take all measures required in this area.

In turn, Mohamed Saleh Branch Manager General Establishment of Geology and Mineral Resources in Hama said: The current indicators in the quarries Masyaf marble indicate the presence of the feasibility of high economic which motivate investors to demand it, especially the exploration and extraction of marble blocks are the latest methods and techniques used globally.

Masyaf marble, is famous for its class quality and fine shape and hardness of high similarity in the product, mostly foreign marble and excel in the attractive appearance and flaunt colors.

Dairi added : As for domestic sales has amounted to 579 million pounds, less than planned and it is of course linked to extract SEF.
Dairi said: It was planned to export the amount of 1.4 million tons, but the port for the same period reached 2.3 million tons which is equivalent to almost twice the planned rate of implementation of 198% and this is due to return vital for the manufacture of fertilizer globally after falling because of global crisis With regard to domestic sales has sales reached 313 thousand tons less than planned and on the investment and marketing of raw materials other Dairi added : the establishment has investments in many raw materials such as asphalt, salt, sand, Quartz, plaster and tuff volcanic but most is sold internally for investment and local production of the Foundation has sold about 281 tons of asphalt and 27 thousand tons of plaster and 144 tons of volcanic tuff.

Dairi noted that the value of sales organization of internal and external to the third quarter of this year reached 8.3 billion SP and by implementing and reached to 147%.

Dairi said: Our surveys detailed geological and digging for phosphate ores and tuff volcanism in the mines of eastern and shale oil in Aleppo and plaster in Giraud been dug about 11 A of the study and measurements and sample preparation laboratory The Foundation also prospecting for ores cement industry for the benefit of the Ministry of Finance and views Add another to locate underground water wells for several public entities in the areas of Mount Hermon and Qalamoun and Deir Al-Zour and Daraa and Idlib and Damascus countryside sites and dams Abu Fayyad as peaceful and close Khabour Hassakeh.

In conclusion, Dairi said: The results and studies indicate the importance of raw materials in the ground and that Syria has a lot of them such as raw materials, cement, shale oil shale, phosphate and asphalt, but the investment of these resources requires large sums of money and this is what can be provided by the private sector, participatory and now there are several materials on the table and investment from the private sector.

According to the memo, the two sides will promote multi-benefit projects according to their feasibility study.

The two sides also agreed on signing an executive program to produce phosphoric acid and phosphate fertilizers in Syria.

They also agreed on establishing factories for producing phosphoric acid in Syria with the possibility of selling the surplus to the Indian side at global price.

The Syrian Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Eng. Sufian Allaw pointed out that the memo aims at increasing the amount of the produced phosphate in Syria to reach 10 million tons per year, saying “the production is at 4 millions currently”.

Allaw added that the agreement will widen the prospects of cooperation between Syria and India in the phosphate sector and relevant industrial industries.

“Syria has large reserves of phosphate, about 1.8 billion tons, the reserves amount can also be increased with intensified exploration operations.

For his part, Behuria stressed the need for speeding up the cooperation in this field and overcoming any obstacle hindering the establishment of this project.

The cost of the project is estimated at USD 15 millions, funded by the Indian company ‘Zuari’ which is in charge of the project.

The Ministry of petroleum and Mineral Resources estimated the amount of phosphate production at 4 million tons per year. 600.000 tons are processed locally, and the rest is exported.

Signing cermony was attended by Dr. Hasan Zainab and Abdo Husameddin minister assistants , jamal Addairy Geology Establishment General Manager ,and his deputy Adel Azughbi and the Indian delegation and The Indian Ambassador to Damascus.

phosphate production in August amounted to 294,263 tons produced quantities including 272,358 tons sold abroad, valued at 15.791 million euros, while domestic sales reached to 16 991 tons valued at 31.433 million SP.

With regard to foreign sales until August 2010 the amounts of exported 2.05 million tons worth 5.9 billion Syrian pounds, equivalent to 100 million euros and an implementation rate exceeded 167% of the amount and 194% of value.

According to Oil Ministry sources, the demand exceeds the estimated production of three million tons per year and this needs to pay more investment in this sector, which needs large investments in mining and infrastructure of the railways, silos phosphate in the port of Tartus and ways to address the phosphate that would raise the added value of these raw materials Syria has a certain reserve of more than alleged 1.8 billion tons.

The Ministry of Oil seeks to raise the amount of production to more than 8 million tons annually by 2015, and planning and working on drafting legislation for the involvement of private sector investment in the raw materials and wastes where there are several offers to invest more than 70 million tons of waste phosphate has been agreed with the Iranians in letters the first investment of this waste and no other offers from Indian companies to invest in the phosphate and this would raise the revenue production, export and manufacture of phosphate and improve the quality, especially after the implementation of a line drawing of water from the Euphrates Alyhakol Huneifis in Palmyra for washing and processing of phosphate to set up plant fertilizer phosphate.

Allaw said that to provide oil shale in large quantities and good quality in Syria to achieve economic feasibility and cost-effective investment, especially because it enters in the field of industry, electricity, cement, raw asphalt and power generation in addition to extracting oil from it and manufacture of phosphate ores.

The delegation expressed a desire to invest in these areas and provide investment techniques oil shale have.

large amounts of shale oil shale Were detected in Syria are estimated at billions of tons spread over large areas and close to the earth’s surface in al-Khanaser Aleppo in addition to other amounts in Daraa .

oil shale is an organic compound included in the composition of oil and most of the components can be the most important alternatives for future energy production and the petrochemical industries.

The process of producing electricity from it economically feasible where she closed water circuit does not require the additional quantities of water compared with the crude distillation plants.

Allaw said that fixed sales for December up to 220 thousand tons, we can say: we have been able, despite the global financial crisis and despite competition from the implementation of over 60% of the sales plan for this year, which was planned amount of 3.7 million tons and currently there are talks with the Indians and Pakistanis However Belarusian who agreed with them on the exchange of phosphate and green diesel for the Pakistanis and Indians are talking to them in the export of phosphate and there is an initial request from the Turks to buy 500 thousand tons and 400 thousand tons, Bulgaria and Ukraine gets usually about 400 thousand tons, but so far not been fixtures and keep it within the framework of discussing .

 
On the development of domestic gas, Allaw said: Gas situation good, liquid gas is available and reservoirs full and packing units operating at maximum capacity where it is daily mobilization of more than 250 thousand cylinders are available, but our problem in terms of the distribution starts a crisis when some dealers sell the cylinder by 300 SP. instead of 250 would receive a congestion our centers we addressed the provinces to secure accommodation for the distribution warehouses in order to end these problems and believe a center in any large gathering, but it seems that the problem is on the boards of cities and counties and we hope to be in each neighborhood service center believes in the delivery of advanced cylinder of the house in a civilized manner.
