Haliburton, Dana move on Iraq deals

Dana Gas, the United Arab Emirates-based oil and gas company, will start natural gas production from a gas field in northern Iraq in September and is preparing to drill appraisal wells at a second field next year, a top company executive said Thursday.

The Abu Dhabi stock market-listed firm will start production of 75 million cubic feet per day of gas from the Khoomor field in the Kurdish region under an early production facility "next month," Finance Director Neeraj Agrawal told Zawya Dow Jones in a phone interview.
