Syria's largest oil field seized from ISIS by US-backed forces
Fox News
Syria's largest oil field was seized from the Islamic State terror group on Sunday by the U.S.-led coalition, dealing another blow to the extremist group after the loss of its de-facto capital last week.
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forced, with air support from the U.S.-led coalition, said it captured the Al-Omar field in a "swift and wide military operation," adding that some militants have taken cover in oil company houses nearby, where clashes are underway.
The U.S.-led coalition confirmed the SDF had retaken the oil field, and that Syrian government troops were two files away from the fields, located in the oil-rich Deir el-Zour province along the border with Iraq.

This will be interesting to see what happens here.
It shouldn't be that we'd (or our allies would) "keep" an oil field over there but stories have been written that both sides were rushing to get there. Really? As if the USA would need this. As if we'd confiscate it unless it was to get something back from the ruling government.
