In Egypt, Dana collected $98mn during H1, compared with $43mn received in the same period of 2020, representing a 128% yr/yr increase.

Dana CEO Patrick Allman-Ward said the company was in the process of constructing a new gas train in KRI which is on track for first gas in Q2 2023. “In Egypt, we continue to work diligently to maintain production and to prepare for drilling our exciting exploration well in our offshore Block 6 Concession Area which holds material potential of over 20 trillion ft3 of gas resources,” he said.

Dan reported in May a 41% improvement in Q1 2021 net profit over last year as a result of production increases from the KRI.
