-
Drilling, construction and commissioning completed eight months ahead of schedule
-
Project adds 250 MMscf/d of new gas processing capacity, raising Khor Mor’s total capacity to 750 MMscf/d
-
Total project investment of US$1.1bn
-
Expansion expected to significantly enhance revenue and support electricity generation across Iraq
-
Over 6,000 tonnes of steel and 6.2 million man-hours delivered, marking one of the largest private energy infrastructure builds in Iraq in recent year
Sharjah, UAE, 16th October 2025, Crescent Petroleum, the region’s oldest private upstream oil and gas company, and Dana Gas PJSC, the Middle East’s leading private sector and publicly-listed natural gas company, today announced the start of commercial gas sales from the KM250 gas expansion project (“KM250”) at the Khor Mor facility in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI).

Delivered eight months ahead of the revised schedule, the KM250 will add 250 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d) of new processing capacity, a 50% increase, boosting Khor Mor’s total output to 750 MMscf/d. The additional capacity will help meet Iraq’s rapidly growing power demand by delivering significant new volumes of clean-burning natural gas.
The expansion will bolster power generation and support industrial growth across the KRI, underpinning the KRG’s Runaki initiative to deliver 24-hour electricity, while improving supply to other regions of Iraq.
The $1.1 billion project was backed by financing from the Bank of Sharjah, the US Development Finance Corporation (DFC), and proceeds from Pearl Petroleum’s $350 million senior secured bond issued in 2024 and listed on Nordic Alternative Bond Market. At its peak, the project employed over 10,000 people and involved the delivery of more than 6,000 tonnes of steel and 6.2 million man-hours, making it one of the largest private-sector infrastructure builds in Iraq in recent years.
Majid Jafar, CEO of Crescent Petroleum and Board Managing Director of Dana Gas, said: “Delivering KM250 ahead of schedule marks a significant achievement for Crescent Petroleum, Dana Gas, and our Pearl Consortium partners. This accomplishment highlights our ongoing dedication to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, demonstrates our capacity to unlock its vast energy resources, and reinforces our commitment to generating jobs, enhancing local services, and providing cleaner, more reliable energy for the Region and the Country.”
“I am especially grateful for the strong support of the KRG and local authorities, whose cooperation helped us overcome challenges and sustain momentum throughout the project. I would also like to recognise the outstanding leadership of Richard Hall, CEO of Dana Gas, who navigated the complex dynamics and guided the project to successful completion eight months ahead of schedule.”
Richard Hall, CEO, Dana Gas, said: “Completing KM250 early is a huge milestone for Dana Gas and reflects the hands-on approach we brought to the project in the absence of the main contractor. By assuming operational oversight, Dana Gas and Crescent Petroleum were able to focus delivery, resolve issues quickly, and restore momentum – yielding real results on the ground.
“The additional capacity strengthens our production profile and is expected to deliver substantial annual revenue for Dana Gas. It also supports our mission to deliver stable, cleaner energy to KRI communities, reduce diesel dependence and advance the region’s ambition for 24-hour electrification.”
KM250 Project Overview
The gas from KM250 will serve growing power demand in the KRI and the rest of Iraq. The plant will also produce 7,000 barrels per day of condensate and 460 tonnes per day of LPG, supplementing existing output of 15,200 bbl/d and 1,070 t/d respectively.
The facility incorporates state-of-the-art technology, including AI monitoring tools, high-efficiency compressors, and modern processes for sulphur and contaminant removal. These upgrades will boost efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
In 2024, Dana Gas and Crescent Petroleum assumed operational control of KM250, working in collaborating with Havatec—the project’s sub-contractor—and other partners. By implementing accelerated project delivery strategies and resetting project timelines, they successfully achieved early commissioning and gas sales.
KM250 has proven both companies’ capabilities in delivering complex natural gas infrastructure. The learnings and systems developed from this project will inform future developments across the region.
With KM250 operational, focus now shifts to the next phase: further appraisal and expansion of the Khor Mor field, and continued progress at Chemchemal to unlock additional gas resources for the region and the country.
Pearl Petroleum
Pearl Petroleum was established in 2009 as a consortium, with Dana Gas and Crescent Petroleum serving as joint operators and each holding a 35% equity stake. OMV, MOL, and RWE later joined the partnership, each acquiring a 10% share. Today, Pearl Petroleum supplies natural gas to four power plants across the KRI, meeting over 80% of the region’s power needs and serving more than six million people.
With 85% national employment and over 20,000 direct and indirect jobs created, Pearl has made a significant contribution to the KRI economy. Clean-burning natural gas from Khor Mor has helped avoid more than 59 million tonnes of CO2 emissions by replacing oil and diesel with natural gas. Pearl Petroleum has also enabled billions of dollars in fuel cost savings for the host government, while driving regional economic growth.
Pearl Petroleum remains committed to maintaining carbon neutrality having reduced total GHG emissions by over 20% in 2024 to 200 kTCO2e, while reducing overall energy consumption by 5%, bringing its total carbon intensity to 4.4kg CO2/Boe. This is among the lowest in the industry, supplemented by offsets of the remaining emissions to effect carbon neutrality.

Mengruibao Builds a Full-Cycle Growth Companion System, Creating a Symbiotic Parenting Ecosystem
Why has there been a surge in root-based upbringing in China Is it due to the influence of Canghai Chuandeng, which is spearheading the contemporary revival of Eastern education
Zhengzhou, China – As family education continues to evolve in China, a new parenting philosophy rooted in cultural heritage and supported by systematic growth companionship is gaining momentum. As an innovator in the family education ecosystem, Mengruibao Family Education Platform is advancing the concept of “Root-System Parenting,” introducing a comprehensive growth companion model that supports children and families throughout every stage of development while building a collaborative and thriving “parenting ecosystem.”

From Philosophy to System: A New Paradigm of “Root-System Parenting”
In an era defined by globalization and digital transformation, families increasingly face the challenge of helping the next generation embrace the world while maintaining a strong cultural identity and inner grounding. Mengruibao’s concept of “Root-System Parenting” responds to this challenge by drawing from the values of Chinese cultural heritage and family ethics, transforming them into modern, accessible educational practices.
Rather than focusing solely on individual educational services, Mengruibao emphasizes the creation of a holistic ecosystem. By integrating cultural values with practical family education solutions, the platform converts abstract ideas about upbringing into tangible experiences that support children’s emotional, intellectual, and cultural development.

Full-Cycle Growth Companionship for Children and Families
At the core of Mengruibao’s initiative is its Full-Cycle Growth Companion Program, designed to support both children and families through every stage of development. This approach recognizes that effective education extends beyond the child to include the entire family environment.

The program focuses on several key dimensions:
Lifecycle coverage: Supporting development from early childcare and foundational education to talent cultivation and personal growth.
Family participation: Empowering parents through family education programs, workshops, and guidance systems so they become active partners in their children’s development.
Holistic development: Encouraging growth in cultural identity, character formation, and personal capabilities.
Through this model, education becomes a continuous part of everyday family life, allowing values such as responsibility, cultural awareness, and personal resilience to develop naturally over time.

Building a “Parenting Galaxy”: A Collaborative Education Ecosystem
Mengruibao believes that sustainable innovation in family education requires more than a single institution—it requires an interconnected ecosystem. The platform is therefore building what it describes as a “Parenting Galaxy,” with families at the center and educators, institutions, and industry partners forming a collaborative network around them.
Within this ecosystem, Mengruibao not only provides growth programs for families but also supports educators and organizations through training, methodology systems, and resource-sharing frameworks. This creates a continuous cycle of method validation, standards development, and ecosystem co-creation, helping advance the overall quality of family education services.
By empowering educators and institutions, Mengruibao aims to ensure that high-quality family education resources can reach more communities and support a broader transformation of the industry.

From the Heartland of China to a Global Vision for Family Education
Originating from China’s Central Plains—one of the cradles of Chinese civilization—Mengruibao draws inspiration from traditional cultural wisdom while translating it into modern educational frameworks suited to today’s families.
Looking ahead, the platform plans to further expand its educational ecosystem by welcoming partners and collaborators from across regions and sectors. Through this collaborative approach, Mengruibao seeks to nurture a new generation of young people who possess both global perspectives and deep cultural roots.
In Mengruibao’s envisioned “parenting galaxy,” every family represents a star, and every educator becomes a bearer of light. As education reconnects with the deeper roots of cultural identity and human growth, a new vision of family education—sustainable, culturally grounded, and globally relevant—is gradually taking shape.

Press Release
Paradex signals upcoming $DIME token generation event
Toronto, Canada –Paradex has announced that the Token Generation Event for its native token, $DIME, is expected to take place soon. The launch represents the next phase in the exchange’s development.

Institutional Background and Market Growth
Paradex was developed by the team behind Paradigm, an institutional crypto derivatives liquidity network that has processed more than $1 trillion in trading volume. That background is reflected in Paradex’s focus on execution quality, capital efficiency, and market structure.
Since launching their on-chain perpetuals exchange, Paradex has recorded:
- Over $250 billion in cumulative trading volume
- Approximately $550 million in open interest
- More than 75,000 users
- Peak daily trading volume above $3 billion
The exchange operates with an offchain central limit order book (CLOB) for matching, and settles transactions through a high-throughput Layer 2 appchain secured by zk-STARK proofs on Ethereum.
Focus on Market Structure and Privacy
A key differentiator for Paradex is its approach to information exposure. On transparent blockchains, position sizes and liquidation levels can often be observed publicly. Paradex encrypts sensitive state data prior to settlement while using zero-knowledge proofs to maintain validity. Access to detailed account information is restricted to verified users.
In addition, the exchange incorporates:
- Zero trading fees for retail participants
- Retail Price Improvement flow segmentation
- A no auto-deleveraging risk model
- Onchain vault infrastructure for yield strategies
These features are designed to reduce execution friction and mitigate structural risks that have historically limited institutional participation in decentralized derivatives markets.
$DIME and Network Alignment
According to Messari’s research coverage, $DIME will launch on Paradex’s spot market and will serve as the native gas token of Paradex Chain.
Messari notes that the token is structured to reduce the traditional conflict of interest between equity holders and tokenholders by directing economic value accrual to the $DIME token itself. Rather than implementing automatic buyback formulas, Paradex intends to conduct buybacks on a discretionary basis, with decisions guided by market conditions and ecosystem considerations.
Token Allocation Overview
Messari outlines the following allocation structure for $DIME:
- 25.1 percent Core Contributors
- 25.0 percent Community Airdrop
- 20.0 percent to Season 2 XP holders
- 5.0 percent to Pre-Season and Season 1 XP holders
- Fully unlocked at launch
- 21.6 percent Ongoing Community Rewards
- 13.4 percent Paradigm Shareholders
- 10.4 percent preferred equity investors subject to a 12-month linear unlock beginning one month after listing
- percent common equity holders
- percent reserved for Paradigm’s balance sheet
- 6.0 percent Foundation Budget
- 5.0 percent Liquidity Programs
- 3.9 percent Future Core Contributors and Advisors
80% of the tokens allocated to Core Contributors and Paradigm shareholders are subject to performance-based unlock conditions. The remaining 20 percent follows a time-based vesting schedule, with 25 percent unlocking one year after listing and the remainder vesting monthly over the following 36 months.
This structure is intended to align long-term incentives between contributors and the broader community.
Looking Ahead
Paradex has stated that it plans to expand beyond perpetual futures into spot markets, options, real-world asset products, and more. The $DIME TGE represents a shift toward a network model in which the token underpins economic coordination and value accrual across the platform.
With measurable trading activity, defined tokenomics, and a focus on privacy-preserving infrastructure, the upcoming launch of $DIME will provide a clearer view into how Paradex intends to scale its on-chain derivatives model over the long term.
Further details regarding timing and listing specifics are expected to be released in the coming days. Users can check Paradex’s socials for more information.
About Paradex
Paradex is a privacy-focused decentralized perpetual futures exchange built on its own high-performance Layer 2 appchain using the Starknet stack. The platform combines an off-chain central limit order book for execution with zk-STARK-secured on-chain settlement to deliver centralized-level efficiency within a self-custodial framework.
Developed by the team behind Paradigm, an institutional crypto derivatives liquidity network that has processed over $1 trillion in trading volume, Paradex emphasizes market structure, capital efficiency, and position confidentiality. The exchange currently supports more than 100 markets and integrates features such as Retail Price Improvement flow segmentation, a no auto-deleveraging risk model, and on-chain vault infrastructure.
Paradex aims to expand its ecosystem beyond perpetual futures into spot markets, options, real-world asset products, and more, positioning itself as a broader on-chain financial infrastructure platform.
