Dana Gas, the Middle East's largest private sector natural gas company, has reported a net profit of AED 586 million ($160mm) for FY 2023, down from AED 667 million ($182mm) in FY 2022. The decrease in profits was attributed to lower hydrocarbon prices, despite an increase in production in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) and reduced operating costs. Revenue decreased by 20% to AED 1.55 billion ($423mm) in 2023, compared to AED 1.94 billion ($529mm) in 2022. Operational costs decreased by 7% due to prudent cost controls. In 2023, the company's net production in the KRI increased by 8% to 36,900 boepd. Dana Gas also made progress on its KM250 expansion project and expects completion in the second half of 2024. The company has also improved its collections, including past receivables, through a new payment mechanism in the KRI.
