Khor Mor gas resumes full production across the region. Iraq Khor Mor gas resumes after weeks of instability. The company resumes support of the electricity supply.
The UAE-based company Dana Gas confirmed the full restart of operations at the Khor Mor Gas Field. The field lies in the Chamchamal area within the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
The company announced that operations now run at normal levels. Previously, activity continued on an intermittent basis due to security concerns. However, teams have now restored full production capacity.
During the disruption period, the company followed strict safety measures. It coordinated closely with government authorities to manage risks. Moreover, teams focused on protecting workers and infrastructure at all times.
At the same time, the field plays a key role in Iraq’s energy sector. It ranks among the largest gas-producing sites in both Iraq and the Kurdistan Region. Therefore, its return marks a critical step for energy stability.
Operations at the field run under Pearl Petroleum in partnership with Dana Gas. Together, they oversee production and supply across the region. The gas produced feeds major power plants and supports electricity generation.
As a result, the restart will improve power supply across the Kurdistan Region. In recent months, disruptions have reduced gas flow to electricity stations. Consequently, many areas faced power shortages.
Furthermore, repeated security incidents caused these disruptions. Armed groups launched drone and rocket attacks on the facility. These attacks forced temporary shutdowns and created operational challenges.
One major attack caused severe damage and casualties. The incident resulted in the deaths of four foreign workers. It also injured several others, raising serious safety concerns.
Despite these challenges, operators continued to maintain essential systems. They worked to secure the site and prepare for a full restart. Now, stable operations signal improved conditions on the ground.
Looking ahead, Iraq Khor Mor gas resumes at a crucial time for the energy sector. Authorities aim to strengthen infrastructure and prevent further disruptions. In addition, companies plan to enhance security and operational resilience.
Overall, the return to full operations supports electricity production and economic activity. It also reassures investors about long-term energy projects in Iraq.
