Information Memorandum published

Reference is made to the stock exchange notices of 10 and 15 June 2016 by Det

norske oljeselskap ASA (the "Company") regarding the acquisition of BP Norge AS

(the "Transaction").

The Company has today published an information memorandum in this regard, which

also serves as a prospectus equivalent document for the listing of the

consideration shares in the Company to be issued at the time of the closing of

the Transaction. The closing of the Transaction is subject to certain closing

conditions having been fulfilled, expected to be in place within the end of

September 2016. The Company further expects that completion of the Transaction

will occur on or around 30 September 2016 and the consideration shares will be

listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange shortly thereafter. For more information, see

the information memorandum.

As part of the information memorandum is a report by DeGolyer and MacNaughton on

BP Norge AS's reserves and contingent resources. Per year-end 2015, BP Norge's

2P (P50) reserves were estimated to be 297 million barrels of oil equivalent

(«mmboe») and matured 2C (best) contingent resources of 114 mmboe, based on

sales gas. Note that the 2P (P50) reserves are higher than reserves reported by

the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, primarily due to differences in reserves

classification criteria.

The information memorandum is attached and is also available on www.detnor.no

and at the Company' headquarters in Trondheim.
