ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq – Iraq will publish the findings of a high-level committee that is probing the attack on the Kurdistan Region’s key Khor Mor gas field “within 72 hours,” the prime minister’s spokesperson said Friday.

A strike targeted the key Khor Mor gas field in Sulaimani province late Wednesday. The UAE-based Dana Gas, the field’s operator, said the following day that the liquified petroleum gas (LPG) section was “struck by a rocket attack,” causing no injuries but shutting down production.

The attack was widely condemned regionally and by diplomatic missions. Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani promptly formed a high-level investigation committee, including Interior Minister Abdul Amir al-Shammari and intelligence chief Hamid al-Shatri. The delegation arrived in Sulaimani on Friday and headed to the gas facility. 

“The investigative committee, which the prime minister directed, is carrying out a field investigation in the Khor Mor field … and the results will appear within 72 hours after determining the causes of the incident and the parties responsible for it,” Sabah al-Numan, the prime minister’s spokesperson, told state media. 

The committee also includes Kurdistan Region Interior Minister Reber Ahmad and is supported by the US-led international coalition against the Islamic State (ISIS), marking the first time the coalition is involved in such a case. 

The Kurdistan Region’s natural resources and electricity ministries said the field was targeted by a drone strike, with power supply across the Region slashed by 80 percent and electricity production down to 1,000 MW from 4,000 MW.

The attack also disrupted power delivery to the provinces of Nineveh, Kirkuk, and Salahaddin, Iraq’s electricity ministry told The New Region on Thursday.

The Khor Mor field is the main producer of the Kurdistan Region’s electricity, with natural gas reserves of around 1.8 trillion cubic feet. It is operated by Dana Gas, which, alongside affiliate Crescent Petroleum, agreed to a deal with the KRG in 2007 to develop the Region’s gas capacities.
