“The ongoing impact of performance issues has materially affected Enerflex’s ability to meet its contractual obligations,” Dana Gas said in a statement. And which led to ‘unacceptable delays’ and in turn hindering timely completion of the project (KM250).

“To safeguard the interests of Pearl Petroleum, its stakeholders and the people of the KRI, the company (Pearl Petroleum, the operating company) has taken the necessary step of issuing this notice of termination,” the statement added.

“This action will enable Pearl Petroleum to assume direct control over the remaining phases of the project, ensuring that it is brought back on track and completed in the timeliest manner.”

Plus, 'Pearl also reserves all its rights under the contract including potential claims for damages'.

The KRI facility had been the target of mortar attacks in the recent past, but the company was able to resume existing operations swiftly enough.

Dana Gas recorded profit of Dh124 million in the first-half of 2024, a 3 per cent gain.
