The PKK/ YPG and Assad regime have reached an agreement on sharing oil from the Al-Omar oilfield, one of the largest oilfields in the YPG-occupied Deir Ezzor province in eastern Syria, according to local sources.
Under the deal, the YPG will give 100 barrels of oil from the field to the Assad regime in return for 75 barrels of fuel, the sources said on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on talking to the media.
The Al-Omar oilfield, the most productive field in war-ravaged Syria, is estimated to produce some 15,000 barrels of oil per day.
Last year, the YPG reached a deal for sharing the oil revenues in Hasaka province.
The US-backed group occupies roughly 70% of the oil sources in Syria.
The oil refineries in Syria, however, are still under the Assad regime’s control.
