Dana Gas Begin Production at Egypt NGL Plant

Dana Gas’ Egyptian affiliate had started commercial output at a natural gas liquids plant in the country, Reuters said citing a company statement.

The Egyptian Bahrain Gas Derivatives Company is a joint venture between Dana's subsidiary Danagaz Bahrain, the government-owned Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company and Arab Petroleum Investments Corp.

The Ras Shukheir plant will have a production capacity of 120,000 tons a year of propane and butane using gas feedstock supplied by Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation.

Dana Gas said the plant will market butane inside Egypt and export propane. Residual gas will be supplied to Egypt's national gas grid.
