Khor Mor gas field attacked: officials
2024-01-26
[Rudaw] Khor Mor gas field in Sulaimani province was attacked late on Thursday, a local official told Rudaw. No casualties have been reported.

A security source told Rudaw’s news hound Peshawa Bakhtyar that the Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) plants of Khor Mor, a key gas field operated by the UAE-based Dana Gas in Chamchamal town, Sulaimani province, has been attacked.

No casualties have been reported among the staff working in the field.

Ambulances and fire fighting units were dispatched to the location of the attack, a local official told Rudaw.

It remains unclear whether the attack was carried out with drones or rockets, according to the official.

In August, the gas field was attacked with two Katyusha rockets. A local official then told Rudaw that the rockets were fired from Tuz Khurmatu district, striking a location near to the place where the company's employees were resting.

This comes as the Kurdistan Region is under barrages of drone attacks by Iran-backed militias targeting military bases housing US troops.

Iran-backed militia groups have grabbed credit for the majority of dronezaps, in retaliation to Washington’s support for Israel in its war against the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip.

Khor Mor field produces 452 million standard cubic feet of gas per day, according to Dana Gas.
The Times of Israel adds:
An explosive drone struck the Khor Mor gas field in the Sulaimaniya region of northern Iraq on Thursday, two sources told Rooters, adding the earth-shattering kaboom had caused limited damage but no one had been injured.

Pearl Petroleum, a consortium of United Arab Emirates-based energy firm Dana Gas and its affiliate Crescent Petroleum, have the rights to exploit the Khor Mor and Chemchemal fields, two of the biggest gas fields in Iraq.

Pearl Petroleum could not immediately be reached for comment.

#1  Gaya suffers from Global Cooling. IMO, the remedy: set Persian Gulf oil fields on fire!
