Measure and scope
Crude petroleum («النفط الخام»), thousand cubic metres («ألف م3»), Syria, calendar year; no geography, operator coverage or method stated; footnote «لايتضمن الإنتاج الخاضع للتقاسم *» printed from the 2017 edition, the asterisk on 2016, 2017 and 2018 only; the 2023 and 2024 editions print the footnote with no value marked
Known conflict
Not reconciled with OILPROD-001 (World Bank and Oil and Gas Journal, 2024, barrels a day) or OILPROD-002 (the Syrian Petroleum Company's own 2009 output); different years, unit and scope, and the abstract does not say whether shared production, condensate or areas outside government control are counted in unmarked years. The publisher's own caveats: some tables estimated for want of geographic coverage (2022 and 2023 landing pages, 2024 introduction); pre-2025 data «ضعف في الموثوقية» and produced «بمنهجيات وأدوات إحصائية غير جيدة» (2024 introduction) || Closing pass D253, 29 September 2026, unit CL09: || 29 September 2026 (CL-C; D-253 item 1): the former ministry's plan follow-up statements (OILPROD-004) give oil for dated periods 2011 to 2021 on changing measures; the book joins them to nothing, this series included.

Action
Print only in thousand cubic metres with the footnote and the asterisk years and the publisher's caveats in the same passage (CLOSING_cbs P-4); never converted to barrels a day beside, or set against, any 2024 figure (D-250 item 4); never added to or subtracted from any company figure
