Looking ahead: Dana Gas is ahead of schedule on the KM250 expansion in the KRI, which will add 250 mn standard cubic ft (scfd) of capacity, and is progressing with its USD 160 mn Chemchemal field program, targeting up to 75 mn scfd of early production in 1Q 2026. In Egypt, it launched its USD 100 mn, 11-well drilling plan, with the Begonia-2 well confirming 9 bn cubic ft (bcf) of reserves and the Balsam-3 recompletion targeting 4 bcf.
