Delivered eight months ahead of the revised schedule, the KM250 will add 250 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d) or 48,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day of new processing capacity, a 50% increase, boosting Khor Mor’s total output to 750 MMscf/d(144 mboepd), MOL said.

MOL is a 10% shareholder in the Pearl Petroleum consortium, operated jointly by Dana Gas and Crescent Petroleum.

Currently, Pearl Petroleum supplies natural gas to four power plants across the KRI, meeting over 80% of of the region’s power needs and serving more than 6 million people, MOL said.
