•
Norwegian oil and gas operator focused on the
Middle East and North Africa with assets in the
Kurdistan region of Iraq, Yemen, Oman, the
United Arab Emirates, Tunisia and Somaliland
•
DNO ranks fifth in market capitalization among
European listed exploration and production
companies and second in proved and probable
reserves
•
Gross production averaged close to 120,000
barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) in 2014,

2015 DNO preview
• In Kurdistan, on track to increase Tawke field
production and processing capacity to 200,000 bopd
in first part of 2015
• Decline in oil prices is prompting all oil and gas
companies, including DNO, to cut capex and opex
• 2015 capex projected at USD 100 million
• Headcount reductions, some from completion of
expansion projects, leading to an annual saving of
USD 20 million from mid-2015
• Priority is to align our spending with our earning,
with revenues from Kurdistan local sales driving this
year’s capital program
• Expect to realize our share of export revenues from
Kurdistan consistent with our contractual terms
