Summary/Abstract: The Middle East is responsible for nearly 30% of world oil production. Oil export is possible just using oil tankers and pipelines. Most developed pipeline network it has Syria. At the same time Syria is a gateway to Europe oil market. Bearing in mind oil price decline, fight on oil markets becomes more pronounced. The consequences of this struggle are creating increasing religious tensions between Shiites and Sunnis. Syria becomes a global battlefield for the influence on Arabian oil.
