Production fully restored at Khor Mor after attack: Dana Gas
03-05-2024[Rudaw] Dana Gas on Friday announced that production at the Kurdistan Region’s Khor Mor gas field has been fully restored, a week after a deadly dronezap that killed four Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... i workers.
"The resumption of operations follows decisive actions by the Government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government as well as further firm commitments to significantly enhance security and strengthen defences at the Khor Mor site," it added. A dronezap on the Khor Mor gas field last Friday killed four Yemeni nationals and injured several others who were repairing a condensate storage tank that had been damaged in a previous attack. Located in Sulaimani province, Khor Mor is a key source of fuel for the Kurdistan Region’s power plants. Two days after the attack, Dana Gas announced that it had temporarily suspended production at the field. The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) described the strike as a "terrorist" attack and called on the federal government to take action to stop such assaults. KRG Electricity Minister Kamal Mohammad Salih on Thursday told news hounds that Baghdad is responsible for providing aerial protection of Khor Mor. "The KRG has not failed to provide ground protection, but when it comes to aerial protection, that is the responsibility of the federal government," Salih said. However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... the Iraqi oil minister said it is not their responsibility to protect the field. "Khor Mor is under the control of the Kurdistan Regional Government and it is their responsibility to protect it," Hayyan Abdul Ghani told news hounds in Baghdad on Thursday. The field has come under attack multiple times, largely blamed on Iraqi militias affiliated with Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan.The abbreviation IRGCis the same idea as Sturmabteilung (or SA).The term Supreme Guideis a the modern version form of either Duceor Fuhreror maybe both. They hate taking advantage of the site’s strategic and economic importance for the Kurdistan Region. The attacks have caused major power disruptions and hindered expansion projects at the site. Production at the field exceeds 500 million standard cubic feet of gas per day, according to Dana Gas. Last week’s strike shut down some two-thirds of the Region’s electricity generation. A drone attack in January similarly brought work at the field to a halt.
