ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) has been expanding its international footprint lately, marking a notable return to Syria while also picking up support from a major brokerage’s conviction list.

On June 16, 2026, ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), the Syrian Petroleum Company, and energy firm Novaterra signed an agreement in Damascus to develop new gas fields and expand output from existing assets. The deal marks ConocoPhillips’ return to Syria after roughly two decades, according to Chairman and CEO Ryan Lance.

That development builds on an earlier memorandum of understanding signed in November between the same parties, aimed at expanding cooperation in the country’s gas industry.
