Controversy
In January 2013, unsubstantiated allegations were made against Dana Gas that its operations were responsible for the flooding and destruction of the Upper Egyptian village of Fares, near Kom Ombo. It was claimed that flooding in the village was caused by the drilling (fracking) by Dana Gas.
An independent report by D'Appolonia S.p.A into the allegations and the report was completed in early 2016. The conclusion of the report is that "...there is no evidence that Dana Gas could have either introduced more surface water to the existing system, or significantly altered the drainage of such surface waters. Based on the data, it can be concluded that the Dana Gas activities neither directly nor indirectly caused the alleged flooding in Fares Village".
