CAIRO: Egypt on Thursday said that it has paid all delayed payments to the United Arab Emirate's energy company Dana Gas after having resolved issues pertaining to gas volume measurements, reports said. In May, Dana's management reported delayed payments of $148 million for sales to Egypt and said if these were not met it would impact on its future investments in the country, Reuters news agency reported on Thursday. “The payment has been made, and the main reason why it was delayed is because we had a minor conflict with Dana over the volumes of gas being produced and sold to us,” said an official at state-owned Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS). He added that the conflict was over a difference of five million standard cubic feet per day of gas over a five-month period, which the UAE company alleged the Egyptian government did not want to make payments for. “Dana then hired a third party to come in and measure the volume of gas being sold to us, and it turned out that our calculations were correct,” said the official, who declined to give details on the amount paid to Dana.
