Al Bishri Petroleum Co., a JV owned 50% by the SPC and 50% by Shell, Pecten and Deminex, produces about 3,500 b/d of heavy 24.4x oil at Wadi Aabeid, near Deir Ez Zor. Found by Total in 1989 and on stream since late 1991, the field was producing about 9,000 b/d in 1992.

The initial well in 1989 produced almost 7,000 b/d. Its rapid decline confirmed structural complications foreseen by Total in 1993. The French major relinquished the whole Bishri block at the end of 1993.
