DNO ASA Reports Appraisal Results for Carmen Gas-Condensate Discovery in Norwegian North Sea License PL1148 DNO ASA announced that an appraisal well has further delineated the 2023 Carmen gas-condensate discovery in Norwegian North Sea license PL1148, with recoverable resources now estimated at 21–107 million barrels of oil equivalent. The bulk of recoverable volumes was encountered in the Etive Formation, where reservoir quality ranges from moderate to poor. The partnership will evaluate hydraulic fracturing to enhance recovery from the sizeable in-place volumes. Further appraisal and exploration drilling is being considered, including targets in the north of the laterally extensive Carmen structure. The license partnership, which consists of DNO Norge AS (30%), operator Wellesley Petroleum AS (30% and operator), Equinor Energy AS (30%) and Aker BP ASA (10%), will assess the opportunities to develop the discovery as a tie-back to existing infrastructure in the area. Carmen is considered a tie-back candidate to Kvitebjørn, a platform 35 kilometers to the west, in which DNO holds a 19% interest. Recently, the Company acquired stakes in nearby discoveries, Atlantis (19%) and Afrodite (10%), both also potential tie-backs to Kvitebjørn. Last week, the Deepsea Yantai drilling rig moved from the Carmen location to appraise Afrodite, which is also considered a fracking candidate with significant upside potential.

It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Paying a dividend despite being loss-making.

DNO ASA Announces Oil and Gas Discovery in Northern North Sea License Pl1182 S DNO ASA announced an important oil and gas discovery in Northern North Sea license PL1182 S in which the Company holds a 40% operated interest. The discovery was made in Paleocene injectite sandstones of excellent reservoir quality with preliminary estimates of gross recoverable resources in the range of 39 to 75 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe), with a mean of 55 MMboe. The Kjottkake exploration well encountered a 41-meter oil column and a 9-meter gas column. A sidetrack drilled vertically 1,350 meters westwards along the reservoir in the Sotra Formation confirmed the presence of the oil column throughout the discovery. Located 27 kilometers northwest of the Troll C platform and 44 kilometers southwest of the Gjoa platform, Kjottkake is DNO's tenth discovery since 2021 in the Troll-Gjoa exploration and development hotspot, following Rover Nord, Kveikje, Ofelia, Rover Sor, Heisenberg, Carmen, Kyrre, Cuvette and Ringand. The Company has also racked up discoveries in other parts of the Norwegian Continental Shelf, including Norma (2023) and Othello (2024), both play-opening finds and both operated by DNO. Partners in license PL1182 S include Aker BP ASA (30%, Concedo AS (15%) and Japex Norge AS (15%). The wells were drilled using the Deepsea Yantai rig. Following its exploration success, the Company has stepped up purchases of producing assets to balance its Norwegian portfolio and help fund coming developments. In early March, DNO announced the transformative acquisition of Sval Energi Group AS, which will increase North Sea 2P reserves from 48 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) to 189 million boe post-closing and 2C resources from 144 million boe to 246 million boe (pro forma figures as of yearend 2024). The acquisition, which is expected to close by mid-year, will turn the North Sea into the biggest contributor to Company's net production with some 60% of the total, with the balance coming predominantly from two operated fields, Tawke and Peshkabir, in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

DNO ASA Racks Up Discoveries in Its Offshore Norway Core Area DNO ASA announced a gas condensate discovery on the Cuvette prospect in the Norwegian North Sea licenses PL248F and PL248GS in which the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary DNO Norge AS holds a 20% interest. Preliminary evaluation of the discovery indicates gross recoverable resources in the range of 16-38 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) with a mean of 25 MMboe, well above predrill estimates. Just over half of the resources were encountered in the Middle Jurassic primary target, and the balance in the Upper Jurassic secondary target. Cuvette is DNO's eighth discovery in the highly prolific area surrounding the Troll and Gjoa production hubs since 2021. The other discoveries are Rover Nord, Kveikje, Ofelia, Rover Sor, Heisenberg, Carmen and Kyrre, all close to infrastructure and with clear routes towards commercialization. Wintershall Dea Norge AS operates licenses PL248F and PL 248GS as well as the nearby Vega field tied back to Gjoa. Another partner in the licenses, Petoro AS, similarly holds a stake in Vega. One of Vega's three subsea templates, Vega Central, is located only three kilometers to the north of the new discovery well. The partners will consider fast-track production of Middle Jurassic volumes through the Vega Central template. Another option is a joint development with three nearby discoveries made in 2015-2016 (Syrah, Orion, Beaujolais; totaling some 15 MMboe gross), in which DNO also holds a 20% interest. Following the successful appraisal of Heisenberg early in the year, Cuvette was the second well in DNO's 2024 North Sea exploration program. Five wells remain to be drilled, of which four are also in the Troll-Gjoa area. In 2023, the Company was the third most active exploration driller on the Norwegian Continental Shelf in number of wells drilled and ranked second in discovered volumes with an estimated 100 MMboe net to DNO. Having prioritized near-inf infrastructure exploration, DNO has been an early mover in acquiring substantial acreage positions in selected areas which have since become hotspots.

This led DNO to temporarily shut in its Tawke field for safety reasons while maintaining uninterrupted operations at the less exposed Peshkabir field, also within the Tawke license. Gross license production dropped from above 80,000 barrels per day (bopd) to an average of 65,000 during a 10-day period but was restored to its pre-flooding level on 30 March 2024 as DNO worked to minimize flooding exposure, inspect damage and take remedial actions including installing additional truck loading facilities. Given shortages of heavier crudes in regional markets, DNO negotiated with its customers to nudge Tawke/Peshkabir prices to the mid-USD 30 per barrel level. DNO share of sales continue to be paid directly to the Company in advance of loadings and have averaged in excess of USD 25 million per month in 2024. No DNO employees were hurt though several substantial pieces of equipment weighing tons were washed away and have yet to be located. Notwithstanding major damage in the town of Zakho, neighboring the Tawke field, the 2,000 year-old Roman-era arched bridge, a popular tourist attraction, survived intact. The Company provided relief to the local community by supplying home appliances, including refrigerators, to families most impacted by the flooding. Workovers and other field work at Tawke and Peshkabir have quickly resumed, whilst the Company’s Board of Directors has given the nod to plan for new investments to maintain and then begin to bolster production. Elsewhere in Kurdistan, DNO resumed drilling with the latest well (B-3) at the operated Baeshiqa license (DNO 64%) spud on 21 February 2024. The well has reached 1,850 meters or nearly one-half of the target depth. Tillkännagivande • Mar 23
DNO ASA Announces Completion of an Appraisal Well and Sidetrack DNO ASA announced completion of an appraisal well and sidetrack that further delineated the 2023 Heisenberg oil and gas discovery in Norwegian North Sea license PL827SB. Heisenberg, a new shallow play in the northern part of the Norwegian North Sea, is now estimated to hold recoverable volumes in the range of 24 to 56 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) (mean of 37 MMboe). Oil-bearing sands were encountered in a deeper secondary target, Hummer. The license partnership, which in addition to DNO Norge AS (49 percent) includes operator Equinor Energy AS, is planning a well in the second quarter of this year to explore an additional deep prospect, Angel, while delineating Heisenberg towards the west. Surrounded by major North Sea hubs Troll B, Kvitebjørn and Gjøa (the first two operated by Equinor), Heisenberg lies within tieback range of these hosts. Studies are underway for fast-track development of Heisenberg in coordination with a string of recent discoveries in this area in which DNO has a significant presence, including in last year’s Carmen discovery (30%).

Net income: US$18.6m (down 95% from FY 2022). Profit margin: 2.8% (down from 28% in FY 2022). The decrease in margin was driven by lower revenue. Combined production Oil equivalent production: 17.9 MMboe (34.3 MMboe in FY 2022) Revenue is forecast to grow 7.5% p.a. on average during the next 3 years, compared to a 1.6% decline forecast for the Oil and Gas industry in the United Kingdom. Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has increased by 55% per year but the company’s share price has fallen by 2% per year, which means it is significantly lagging earnings.

Fourth quarter dividend of kr0.25 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of kr0.25. Ex-date: 15th February 2024 Payment date: 26th February 2024 Dividend yield will be 11%, which is higher than the industry average of 6.7%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (dividend approximately 5x earnings) and the company has no free cash flows available, indicating it may be using cash reserves or debt to pay the dividend. The dividend has increased by an average of 14% per year over the past 5 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 477% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 69% over the next 3 years, which means the dividend may need to be reduced to reach a sustainable payout ratio. Reported Earnings • Feb 11

DNO ASA Announces Successful Completion of the Second Appraisal Well on the Bergknapp/re Discovery in License PL836S in the Norwegian Sea DNO ASA announced successful completion of the second appraisal well on the Bergknapp/Åre discoveries in license PL836S in the Norwegian Sea. Recoverable volumes are currently estimated by the operator to range between 50 and 100 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe). Bergknapp/Åre are located eight kilometers west of the Wintershall Dea Norge AS operated Maria field, which is tied back to Equinor Energy AS' Kristin platform. Wintershall Dea holds a 40% in license PL836S as operator, with DNO Norge AS and Equinor each holding a 30% interest. DNO will now work expeditiously with the other licensees to fast track development utilizing the existing infrastructure in the area. The Bergknapp light oil discovery in the Garn, Ile and Tilje formations (44-75 MMboe) was made in 2020 and subsequently appraised by re-entering and sidetracking the discovery well in 2021. The sidetrack well also extended into the deeper Åre formation, where additional volumes of light oil, gas and condensate were discovered (6-25 MMboe). DNO's 2023 North Sea exploration and appraisal program has led to four successful exploration discoveries (Rver, Heisenberg, Carmen and Norma), two successful appraisal wells (of which one with a sidetrack that has led to a new discovery in the same license (Ofelia/Kyrre)) and two dry holes.

DNO Makes Play-Opening Discovery at Norma DNO ASA announced a gas condensate discovery on the Norma prospect in the Norwegian North Sea license PL984 in which the Company holds a 30% operated interest. Preliminary evaluation of the discovery indicates gross recoverable resources in the range of 25-130 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) on a P90-P10 basis, with a mean of 70 MMboe, in a Jurassic reservoir zone with high quality sandstones. Located 20 kilometers northwest of the Balder hub and 30 kilometers south of the Alvheim hub, Norma is situated in an area with extensive infrastructure in the central part of the North Sea, with tie-back options offering potential routes to commercialization. Also within the same license, DNO has identified additional exploration prospects that have been considerably de-risked by the Norma results. Drilled to a vertical depth of 4,800 meters with the Deepsea Yantai drilling rig, Norma is DNO’s first operated high-pressure high-temperature exploration well. At 4,650 meters, the discovery well encountered a 16-meter hydrocarbon column in a 20-meter gross reservoir section in Jurassic sandstones. Several gas condensate samples were collected in the reservoir. In addition, a water sample was acquired. A bypass core of 33.7 meters was secured and an extensive data and sampling program conducted. This discovery is considered a play-opener for the deep turbiditic sands in this area given the exceptionally good reservoir quality encountered. Plans are underway to further delineate the discovery and the upside potential in the license. Before further appraisal drilling, improved seismic imaging and remapping will be undertaken to identify an optimal location for the next well. Even with the additional extensive data collection protocols, the Norma well is expected to be finished 15 days ahead of plan and at a cost eight percent below budget. Plug and abandonment operations have commenced this week. DNO was awarded an interest in PL984 in 2019 through its wholly-owned subsidiary DNO Norge AS. The other partners in the license are Source Energy AS, Equinor Energy AS, Vår Energi ASA (20% each) and Aker BP ASA (10%). Tillkännagivande • Sep 08
