据油气新闻网站2月12日沙迦报道 中东最大的地区私营天然气公司达纳天然气（Dana Gas）公布称，该公司2019年实现净利润1.57亿美元，而2018年则亏损1.86亿美元。
截至2019年12月31日的全年未经审计的初步财务结果显示，核心业务的净利润（不包括一次性减值、盈利和递延收入）同比增长80%，至1.15亿美元，而2018年为6400万美元。
2019年盈利能力的增加得益于库尔德斯坦地区产量的大幅增长，共增加了4000万美元，这在一定程度上抵消了价格下跌的影响。此外，本年度内，本公司确认了对利润和递延收益有积极贡献的权益。
与2018年的4.7亿美元相比，2019年的收入为4.59亿美元，原因是埃及的实际价格下降和产量下降，部分被库尔德斯坦地区产量的增加所抵消。
达纳天然气首席执行官Patrick Allman-Ward表示：“达纳天然气在2019年公布了强劲的业绩指标，突显出其在石油行业充满挑战的一年中不断增强的财务弹性。我们正常运营的净利润几乎翻了一番，达到1.15亿美元，这得益于库尔德斯坦地区产量的增加，尽管实际价格有所下降。强劲的业绩支持派息，但须获得必要的批准。”
“展望未来，公司在库尔德斯坦地区的扩张计划如期进行，预计第一条天然气生产线将于2022年交付。这将使产量从目前的约4亿立方英尺/日提高到6.5亿立方英尺/日。达纳天然气90%以上的探明储量位于库尔德斯坦地区，因此我们将继续关注这一巨大潜力。”

Dana Gas reports $157m net profit for 2019
Dana Gas, the Middle East’s largest regional private sector natural gas company, today reported a net profit of $157 million in 2019 compared to a loss of $186 million in 2018.
The preliminary unaudited financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2019 said net profit from core operations,>The increase in profitability in 2019 was supported by a significant increase in production from the KRI, which added $40 million which helped offset partly the impact of lower prices. In addition, during the year, the company recognised earn out and deferred income entitlements which contributed positively to the bottom line.
Revenue was $459 million in 2019 compared to $470 million in 2018 due to lower realised prices and lower production in Egypt partly offset by increase in production in KRI.
Dr Patrick Allman-Ward, CEO of Dana Gas, said: “Dana Gas registered strong performance metrics in 2019 underscoring its increasing financial resilience in what has been a challenging year for the oil industry. Net profit from our normal operations nearly doubled to $115 million, supported by an increase in production from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq despite the drop in realised prices. The strong set of results are supportive of a dividend payment, subject to necessary approvals.”
“Looking ahead, the company’s expansion plan in the KRI is on schedule, with delivery from the first gas train expected in 2022. This will raise production to 650 MMscf/d from the current rate of circa 400 MMscf/d. Over 90% of Dana Gas’s proven reserves are located in the KRI, so we will continue our focus here as we look to delivering on this vast potential.”
