Dana Gas has temporarily ceased production at the Khor Mor gas field in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) due to security concerns related to the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran.
The company notified the Abu Dhabi Stock Exchange (ADX) which coordinated this suspension with the Ministries of Natural Resources and Electricity of the Kurdistan Regional Government as a precautionary measure.
Dana Gas stated that the plant is currently being purged and maintained in operational status so that production can resume when conditions permit.
The announcement follows a joint statement from the Ministries of Natural Resources and Electricity, cited by the Iraqi news agencyconfirming that Dana Gas stopped deliveries of natural gas from Khor Mor to electricity generation facilities as a result of the security situation.
According to the report, this temporary suspension of supply is expected to reduce the region’s electricity generation capacity by between 2.5GW and 3GW.
In related developments, Shafaq News reported that oil exports from the Kurdistan Region through the Turkish port of Ceyhan have been suspended. Before this decision, export volumes were around 200,000 barrels per day.
Meanwhile, the Kurdistan 24 The news portal reported that groups linked to the Islamic Resistance carried out several drone attacks throughout the Kurdistan Region over a three-day period.
The stoppage at Khor Mor comes after Dana Gas completed its KM250 gas expansion project at the site in October 2025.
The company increased gas production at Khor Mor to more than 700 million cubic feet per day (mcf/d) in January 2026, adding 15,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) to its net production. The expansion increased Khor Mor’s capacity by 50%, bringing total processing capacity to 750 mcf/d.
Dana Gas announced in February 2026 that a common use pipeline in Khor Mor is expected to be commissioned in the second half of 2026, with the group’s production expected to reach up to 75,000 boepd once operational. This increase is based on higher utilization rates in the production of gas, condensate and liquefied petroleum gas.
Other operators in the region have also paralyzed their activities. Reuters reported last week that DNO, listed in Oslo, Norway, suspended oil production at its Tawke and Peshkabir fields as a security measure following attacks carried out by US and Israeli forces against Iran. Gross production from these fields averaged just over 77,000 barrels of oil per day during the final quarter of 2025.
