Overview

Pure-play upstream gas producer with two concentrated positions: the Nile Delta in Egypt and, via the Pearl Petroleum JV, the Khor Mor gas/condensate/LPG field in Iraqi Kurdistan — the single most valuable asset and the source of ~75% of the KRI's power generation feedstock. The KM250 expansion completed in 2025 lifted Khor Mor capacity ~50%, pushing group run-rate production toward ~145 mboe/d.

FY2025 revenue fell ~12% to ~$297m and net profit to ~$130m on lower realized prices and phasing, while the balance sheet is largely deleveraged (near net-cash) supporting a ~6% dividend yield. The equity trades at a deep discount to underlying NAV because of Kurdistan payment, export-dispute and security risk — crystallized when Khor Mor was suspended in March 2026 during regional conflict.

Its EV/EBITDA of 7.8x is above the 5.9x median across the 142-company universe, the free-cash-flow yield of 5.5% is lower than the 6.5% median, and at $2.57/boe of proved reserves it is cheaper than the $13.51/boe median.

On a balanced screen across the universe, Dana Gas scores 55/100, strongest on valuation (59/100). Sub-scores: value 59, quality 57, growth 40, risk 49 (higher = riskier).

Reserves & production

Dana Gas holds approximately 0.65 billion boe of proved (1P) reserves with FY2025 production of about 54 thousand boe/d (20% liquids), a reserve life of roughly 33.3 years. Break-even: ~$35 (gas breakeven) — Low-cost onshore gas/condensate/LPG; Khor Mor operating economics are among the lowest-cost in the region, but realized value is gated by KRG payment collection rather than commodity price.

Net asset value (public-source)

For Dana Gas, no SEC standardized measure is disclosed (non-US filer or listed NOC), so a public-source proved-NAV floor is not computable from US filings. See the interactive screener's NAV tab for peers where an SEC figure exists.

How this is scored. Each country's risk (0–100) is anchored to two named public indices — the OECD Country Risk Classification (0–7 official export-credit country risk) and the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (Political Stability & Absence of Violence percentile) — blended 55/45 and rescaled to 0–100. A company's jurisdiction risk is the production-weighted average across the countries where it operates. This is a pure country measure, kept separate from company & financial risk (leverage, governance). Source: OECD Country Risk Classification (CRC) as of 24 July 2025, sourced via the German Federal Export Credit Guarantees (exportkreditgarantien.de) which applies the OECD consensus country risk category directly (values 0-7; 0 = lowest risk). High-income OECD members are not individually rated by the OECD and are set to crc=0 per the model spec (US, UK, Norway, Canada, Australia, Japan, NZ, and most of Europe incl. OECD members Israel, Poland, Hungary, Czechia, Lithuania, Ireland). 'ps' = World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) 'Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism' percentile rank, latest available (2023 vintage), 0-100 with higher = more stable; ps values are best sourced estimates rounded to the WGI percentile scale. Yemen not on OECD list ('./.') so crc estimated at 7. Iraq-Kurdistan and Falklands are non-standard model rows using judgment, not official OECD entries..
