石油设备网讯 据TradeArabia网沙迦4月10日消息 私营天然气公司达纳天然气宣布，2019年第一季度的平均产量同比增长6%，从2018年第一季度的日产量为6.5万桶增至6.87万桶。
第一季度产量增长主要是由KRI(伊拉克库尔德地区)带动的，该地区的日产量从2018年一季度的26300桶跃升至2019年一季度的32750桶。这一增长主要是由于2018年10月投产的完成的去瓶颈项目带来的额外产量，使KRI天然气产量从300万立方米/天增加到400万立方米/天，增幅超过30%。
与2018年第四季度相比，2019年第一季度产量环比增长5%，反映出KRI产量的增长，并得到了埃及Balsm -8油井在第四季度投产的支持。
达纳天然气首席执行官Patrick Allman-Ward博士表示:“我们的生产数量在2019年第一季度上涨了6%，我们预计产量的增加有积极的影响公司的收入。因为现在意识到KRI天然气销售，我们将受益于2018年第四季度以来石油价格的稳定增长。”
2018年完成的两个主要增长项目，即KRI的去瓶颈项目和埃及的Balsam-8井，已经证明在运营和财务上都具有实质性的增值价值。

Dana Gas posts 6pc higher production in Q1
Dana Gas, a leading regional private sector natural gas company, announced its average production for Q1 2019 has increased by 6 per cent year-on-year to 68,700 boepd from 65,000 boepd in Q1 2018.
The first quarter production increase was led by the KRI (Kurdistan Region of Iraq), which leapt to 32,750 boepd in Q1 2019 from 26,300 boepd in Q1 2018. This increase was principally due to additional production from the completed debottlenecking project that came on-stream in October 2018 and took gas production in the KRI from 300 MMscf/d to 400 MMscf/d, an increase of over 30 per cent.
On a quarter by quarter comparison, Q1 2019 production grew by 5 per cent from Q4 2018, reflecting the increase in production from the KRI and supported by having brought the Balsam-8 well in Egypt on-stream in Q4.
Dr Patrick Allman-Ward, CEO, Dana Gas, said: “Our production numbers are up 6 per cent in the first quarter 2019 and we expect this increase in production to have a positive impact on the Company’s revenues since we are now realising gas sales in the KRI and we will be benefiting from the steady increase in oil prices since Q4 2018.”
The two major growth projects completed in 2018 – the debottlenecking project in the KRI and the Balsam-8 well in Egypt – have proven to be materially value accretive both operationally and financially.
