Dana Gas said that it planned to increase its drilling efforts in Egypt this year and double its natural gas reserves in the North African gas producer. Sharjah-based Dana Gas plans to spend more than $170m drilling 19 new wells in Egypt before the end of this year, compared with 10 wells with investments of $56m in 2007.
