Dana Gas has been temporarily halted due to security concerns over the Khor Mor gas field in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) due to the ongoing conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran.
The company informed the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) that the suspension was coordinated with the Kurdistan Regional Government’s ministries of natural resources and electricity as a precautionary measure.
