据天然气新闻2020年的10月25日迪拜报道，阿联酋上市公司达纳天然气公司日前同意把其在埃及的大部分资产以2.36亿美元的价格出售给私营勘探和生产运营商IPR Wastani石油公司，以集中精力在伊拉克半自治的库尔德地区开展业务。
达纳天然气公司在10月25日的一份声明中说，该公司将出售其在El Manzala、West El Manzala、West El Qantara和North El Salhiya的100%陆上租借区开采权益和相关开发租约。达纳天然气公司从2019年第二季度开始就剥离这些资产进行谈判。达纳天然气公司还表示，该公司将保留其在El Matariya(区块3)和North El Arish(区块6)的陆上和海上勘探特许权，并将积极追求这些资产价值的最大化。
达纳天然气公司说，将出售的埃及资产上半年日产量为3.095万桶油当量，为公司的Ebitda收益贡献了3800万美元。达纳天然气公司表示，这笔有待埃及石油和矿产资源部批准的出售预计将在2021年初完成。
达纳天然气公司首席执行官帕特里克·瓦尔德在声明中说，“完成销售过程将允许我们加强我们的资产负债表以及把注意力集中在开发我们在库尔德地区的世界级资产，我们目前在那里的储量份额超过10亿桶油当量。”

UAE's Dana Gas to sell most of Egypt assets
The UAE's publicly listed Dana Gas has agreed to sell the majority of its Egyptian assets to a private exploration and production operator IPR Wastani Petroleum for up to $236 million in a bid to focus on its operations in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region.
Dana Gas, which started talks to divest the assets in Q2 of 2019, is selling its 100% working interests in the El Manzala, West El Manzala, West El Qantara and North El Salhiya onshore concessions and associated development leases, it said in a statement Oct. 25. It is retaining its interests in onshore and offshore exploration concessions, the El Matariya (Block 3) and North El Arish (Block 6), and "will actively pursue maximizing the value of these assets," it added.
The Egyptian assets being sold produced 30,950 boe/d in H1 and contributed $38 million to the company's Ebitda, it said. The sale, subject to approval by the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, is expected to be completed in early 2021, it said.
"Completion of the sale process will allow us to strengthen our balance sheet and focus our attention on the development of our world class assets in the (Kurdish region of Iraq) KRI, of which our current share of reserves are over 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent, with considerably more resources for realization and development," CEO Patrick Allman-Ward said in the statement.
