Dana Gas has withdrawn all its employees from the Khor Mor gas field in the Kurdistan Region. The company made this decision as a safety measure. Rising tensions and security threats in the region pushed the company to act. These threats are linked to the ongoing conflict involving Iran.
Sources say the decision followed warnings from Iran. Officials warned about possible retaliation after attacks on the South Pars gas field. They also said energy facilities in Gulf countries could become targets. Therefore, Dana Gas acted quickly. The company focused on protecting its workers and reducing risks.
At the same time, Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported new warnings. Officials mentioned possible strikes on five key energy sites. These sites are located in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. This news increased concerns across the energy sector. Companies in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region reacted with caution and reviewed safety plans.
The Khor Mor field plays a major role in energy supply. It provides natural gas for electricity and homes. Three weeks ago, Dana Gas stopped operations due to tensions. This decision caused a loss of about 3,000 megawatts of electricity. As a result, the power supply dropped sharply. Many areas received only 6 to 8 hours of electricity per day.
Later, the company restarted limited operations. However, the situation remains unstable. Dana Gas now follows strict safety measures. It also monitors regional developments closely and updates its plans when needed.
So far, no direct attack has hit the Khor Mor field. Still, risks remain high due to regional instability and past drone incidents, which continue to raise serious concerns among energy companies and investors in the region.
Overall, Dana Gas’s decision reflects growing security concerns. Companies continue to monitor the situation closely. Any escalation could disrupt energy production, reduce supply, and affect regional stability.
