Panoro Announces Final Investment Decision on the Development of the Dussafu oilfields

Oslo, 18 July 2017 - Panoro Energy ASA (the "Company" or "Panoro" with OSE

ticker: "PEN") is pleased to announce that Pan Petroleum Gabon B.V. (a fully

owned subsidiary of Panoro) has approved the operator's proposed work program

and budget to move forward at full speed with the development of the Dussafu

oilfields, offshore Gabon.

The development plan will consist of two initial horizontal wells at Tortue in

the Gamba and Dentale reservoirs. An appraisal side-track will also be drilled

in the northwest of the Tortue field. The two production wells will be tied back

to a leased FPSO via subsea trees and flowlines.

The Dussafu joint venture partners are currently commissioning an independent

review by Netherland Sewell and Associates to update the estimates and to move

these contingent resources to reserves further to the recent FID.

John Hamilton CEO of Panoro, said "The FID is a very important milestone for

Panoro and first oil at Dussafu remains on track to be achieved during the

second half of 2018. It is a significant step in the execution of Panoro's

strategy to realize Dussafu's true potential and to continue unlocking value for

our shareholders".
