Dana Gas has made a strong showing at the Erbil International Fair 2007, which took place in the capital of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq from October 29 to November 1.

The fair, which is the third in a series of annual events organised by IFP Iraq, featured over 300 exhibitors from 22 countries.
Dana Gas actively participated in the fair with a delegation led by company general manager Rashid Saif Al Jarwan, presenting the current and upcoming projects for Dana Gas in Kurdistan.
In April of this year, agreements were signed in Erbil by Nechirvan Barzani, the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government, and Dana Gas Dana Gas Hamid Dhiya Jafar as part of a strategy to advance the considerable economic benefits available to the region through the successful development of its substantial gas resources.
As part of the strategic alliance protocol, the “Kurdistan Gas City” project was launched – a major new gas-utilisation industrial complex designed to promote private sector investment in a variety of gas-related industries.
Dana Gas was also appointed to develop, process and transport natural gas from the Khor Mor gasfield, and to appraise the Chemchemal gasfield for development, in order to provide urgently-needed natural gas supplies to fuel domestic electrical power generation plants currently under construction near Erbil and Suleymania. 
The projects are currently under implementation on a fast track basis, in partnership with Dana Gas’ partner Crescent Petroleum, and expected to be completed by early 2008. 
The first phase joint investment exceeds $400 million, with a further $200 million for project expansion targeted in late 2008.
