Abu Dhabi – Mubasher: Dana Gas has announced a new record level of 430MMscf/d achieved on 15 December in the production of sales gas from Pearl Petroleum’s Khor Mor Gas Plant in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI).
During the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2020 as of 15 December, the average gas production rose by 8% to 400MMscf/d, compared to 370MMscf/d in the same period of 2019, according to a press release on Sunday.
On 15 December, Pearl Petroleum, a subsidiary of Dana Gas, has also resumed expansion plans in the KRI after being suspended in March amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The Company expects to complete the construction and start the gas production of the first 250 MMscf/d gas processing train in the first quarter (Q1) of 2023.
The CEO of Dana Gas, Patrick Allman-Ward, said: "We are getting tremendous support from the KRG, which has given us the green-light to restart the civil engineering works under strict health protocols and controls. This clears a major hurdle and puts us on a path for first gas from the new train in Q1 2023."
It is noteworthy to mention that on 18 November, Khor Mor Gas Plant recorded a production level of 418MMscf/d.
