据油气新闻网站11月14日迪拜报道 中东最大的地区私营天然气公司达纳天然气公布了今年1-9月的业绩，净利润增长了246%，从去年的1.49亿迪拉姆（4100万美元）飙升至5.21亿迪拉姆（1.42亿美元）。

达纳天然气在宣布截至2019年9月30日的9个月期财务业绩时表示，净利润的这一增长主要是由于确认了与某些准备金收益和其他权益相关的金融资产而增加了1.26亿美元的其他收入。

该阿联酋天然气公司表示，埃及Merak-1井在第三季度钻探，但没有遇到商业碳氢化合物，该井的6000万美元减值准备金部分抵消了这一损失。

报告称，除去其他收入和减值准备金的增加，核心业务净利润较去年的4100万美元增长了85%，达到7600万美元。

报告补充称，这主要是由于在2018年第三季度顺利完成脱瓶颈后，伊拉克库尔德斯坦地区（KRI）的产量增加，偿债成本降低。

在强劲的业绩方面，首席执行官Patrick Allman-Ward博士表示：“我们在2019年前9个月的强劲财务和运营表现证明，随着产量的增加和收藏的改善，公司实力不断增强。”

达纳天然气公司今年前9个月的平均产量从去年的62250桶/日上升到67100桶/日，增幅为8%。KRI产量大幅增长，同比去年的25800桶，增长23%，达到了31800桶/日。

Dana Gas posts solid 9-month results; net profit up 246pc

Dana Gas, the Middle East's largest regional private sector natural gas company, has announced solid results for the period from January to September, registering a 246 per cent growth in its net profit which soared to Dh521 million ($142 million) from Dh149 million ($41 million) last year.

Announcing its financial results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, Dana Gas said this increase in the net profit was mainly due to higher other income amounting to $126 million resulting from recognition of financial assets related to certain reserve-based earn-out and other entitlements."

It was partially offset by a $60 million impairment provision in relation to the Merak-1 well in Egypt which was drilled in Q3 but did not encounter commercial hydrocarbons, stated the Emirati gas company.

Excluding the increase in other income and the impairment provision, net profit from core operations increased by 85% to $76 million over $41 million last year, it stated.

This was principally due to an increase in production in Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) post successful completion of the debottlenecking in Q3 2018 and lower debt servicing cost, it added.

On the solid results, CEO Dr Patrick Allman-Ward said: "Our strong financial and operational performance over the first nine months of 2019 is a testament to the company’s growing strength as production increases and collections improve."

Dana Gas' average production for the nine-month period rose 8% to 67,100 bpd from 62,250 bpd last year. KRI output rose significantly, increasing 23% to 31,800 bpd compared to 25,800 bpd last year.
