Report for the third quarter 2014

Third quarter summary

(All figures in brackets apply to the third quarter 2013)

Det norske oljeselskap ASA ("Det norske" or "the company") reported revenues of NOK 112 (324) million in the third quarter.

Exploration expenses amounted to NOK 426 (588) million, contributing to an operating loss of NOK 552 (518) million. Net financial expenses were NOK -184 (-131) million. Net result for the third quarter was NOK -104 (-158) million, following a tax income of NOK 633 (491) million.

Det norske's four producing assets – Jette, Atla, Varg and Jotun – produced 2,335 boepd during the quarter, realising an average oil price of USD 104 per barrel.

Integration work continued throughout the quarter and on October 15, 2014 Det norske finalised the acquisition of Marathon Oil Norge AS ("MONAS"). Following this acquisition, Det norske became a large and robust E&P company with close to 500 employees and activities within exploration, development and production. From the date of entering into the agreement, the two companies have successfully completed an ambitious integration process in just four and a half months. During the quarter, the company raised NOK 3 billion in new equity and finalised a new USD 3 billion reserve-based lending facility.

Det norske participated in the drilling of two wildcat exploration wells and two appraisal wells in the quarter. Both the Heimdalshø and the Kvitvola prospects were dry. Drilling of the Gohta appraisal well was completed in July, while the Garantiana appraisal well was completed in November.

In early November, the pre-unit operator on the Johan Sverdrup field, published the Impact Assessment for the first phase of the development. The Impact Assessment confirms that the project is progressing according to plan and no changes were made to the expected investments for the phase I development.

The Ivar Aasen project continued to move forward in line with expectations, with construction of the topside in Singapore and the steel jacket in Sardinia progressing well. The Maersk Interceptor jack-up rig arrived in Norway in October.

Financials

Third quarter accounts

Operating revenues in the third quarter was NOK 112 (324) million, a decline in line with the decrease in production. Total production in the third quarter was 2,335 (5,940) boepd.

Exploration expenses amounted to NOK 426 (588) million as two dry wells were expensed in the quarter. The operating loss increased to NOK 552 (518) million, as revenues decreased, but was however largely offset by lower OPEX.

Payroll and payroll-related expenses was NOK -52 (4) million, as the company recorded a one-off accounting gain related to a change in pension scheme. Depreciation increased to NOK 172 (164) million, with the increase mainly a result of adjustments from previous periods.

Net financial expenses in the third quarter amounted to NOK 184 (131) million, with the increase primarily related to foreign exchange losses.

The net loss for the period was NOK 104 (158) million after a tax income of NOK 633 (491) million.

Net cash flow from operating activities was NOK 57 (556) million. Net cash flow from investment activities amounted to NOK -1,259 (-875) million, mainly caused by increased investments in fields under development. Net cash flow from financing activities totalled NOK 3,107 (701) million as the company raised NOK 3 billion in new equity.

The company's cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 2,870 (1,218) million as of 30 September. Tax receivables for disbursement in December 2014 amounted to NOK 1,427 (1,288) million. Tax receivable earned in 2014 amounted to NOK 847 (1,057) million. As the company will be in a tax position going forward, this will be offset against payable taxes rather than being disbursed as cash in December 2015.

The equity ratio as of 30 September was 40.1 (32.9) percent. Investments in fields under development, capitalised exploration and cash on hand contributed to a total asset balance of NOK 15,476 (10,689) million as of 30 September.

Field performance and oil prices

Det norske produced 214,789 barrels of oil equivalents (boe) in the third quarter quarter of 2014. This corresponds to 2,335 (5,940) boepd. The average realized oil price was USD 104 (112) per barrel, while gas revenues were recognised at market value of NOK 1.7 (2.3) per standard cubic metre (scm).

Jette (70 percent operator) came on stream in May 2013 and produced 1,080 (4,378) boepd net on average in the third quarter, accounting for 46 percent of total production. Into the third quarter, the Jette field has had stable operations from both wells.

Atla (10 percent partner) produced 621 (981) boepd net on average in the third quarter and accounted for 27 percent of the total production. Production at Atla during the quarter was impacted by maintenance at Heimdal and Forties.

Varg (5 percent partner) produced 494 (377) boepd net to Det norske in the third quarter, or 21 percent of total production.

The average production rate on Jotun (7% partner) was 140 (204) boepd net to Det norske in the third quarter, which represented about 6 percent of total production. Production remained stable during the quarter.

Health, safety and the environment

The company is devoted to securing that all its projects are developed under the highest HSE standards in the oil industry.

The third quarter was characterised by the integration of Det norske and MONAS, including prioritizing work with HSE, emergency preparedness and governing systems. An extensive emergency preparedness exercise program has been implemented during the quarter in order to obtain coordinated emergency response measures.

In September the Norwegian Marine Authority performed an audit of Det norske to approve that the company was prepared and able to become a shipping company owning the Alvheim FPSO.

PDO approved projects

Ivar Aasen – PL 001B/242/457 (34.78 percent, operator)

Key engineering and construction activities for the Ivar Aasen project are progressing according to plan with first oil estimated for Q4 2016. Ivar Aasen is being developed with a steel jacket platform. The topside will include living quarters and a processing facility for first stage separation.

Construction of the topside is progressing at the SMOE yard in Singapore. Recent activity includes blasting and painting of the cellar deck and piping prefabrication is well underway. The 60% model review for the engineering of the topside was recently completed.

During the quarter, construction of the steel jacket continued in Arbatax in Sardinia. The two mid-sections were rolled-up successfully and the two bottom sections (the last of the total of six) are scheduled to be rolled-up during the fourth quarter.

In August, the Maersk XLE-2 jack-up rig left the yard in Singapore and arrived in Norway in early October. The rig, which is the world's largest jack-up rig, was named Maersk Interceptor in late October. Det norske will take over the rig before year-end and will have the rig on contract to late 2019. Drilling of geopilot wells is expected to commence early 2015 followed by production wells in the second quarter of 2015.

Gina Krog – PL 029B/029C/048/303 (3.3 percent partner)

The Gina Krog field is progressing according to schedule with planned start up in Q1 2017.

The development plan for the field includes a steel jacket and integrated topside with living quarters and processing facilities. Oil from Gina Krog will be exported to the markets with shuttle tankers while exit for the gas is via the Sleipner platform.

Other projects

Johan Sverdrup – PL 265 (20 percent, partner) & PL 502 (22.22 percent, partner)

Statoil, as the pre-unit operator on the Johan Sverdrup field, announced on November 3, 2014 the Impact Assessment for the first phase of the development. The Impact Assessment confirms that the project is progressing according to plan.

Phase 1 will contain a field centre consisting of a riser/utilities platform, a drilling platform, a process platform and living quarter's platform. The plan is to submit a Johan Sverdrup phase 1 PDO to the authorities by the first quarter of 2015, with first oil expected in the fourth quarter of 2019. Total investments for phase I of the development continue to be estimated to be between NOK 100 – 120 billion.

The Impact Assessment also presented possible scenarios for the full field development of Johan Sverdrup. The concept for future phases has not yet been decided and estimates concerning the full field scenarios are thus uncertain. Preliminary estimates for full-field investments are however in the order of NOK 170 – 220 billion. The full Impact Assessment has been made available on the company's webpage.

A unitization negotiation process has commenced between the Johan Sverdrup licensees. Approval of the PDO is expected in Norwegian Parliament's (Stortinget) spring session in 2015. The concept for future phases will be decided in a separate process at a later stage, probably in 2016.

During the third quarter, the extensive phase 1 DG3/PDO work continued largely according to plan, both within Statoil and within the external contractors performing front-end engineering and design ("FEED"). The FEED is scheduled to be completed by November. Aker Solutions is the main FEED contractor (platform facilities).

Exploration

During the quarter, the company's cash spending on exploration was NOK 554 million, of which NOK 426 million was recognised as exploration expenses.

Garantiana 2 – PL554 (10 percent, partner)

Drilling of appraisal well 34/6-3S on the Garantiana discovery in PL 554 in the North Sea commenced during the second quarter. The well encountered a gross oil column of 120 metres in the primary target Cook formation with good reservoir quality. A formation test demonstrated a production rate of 940 standard cubic metres (Sm3) of oil per day through a 24/64 inch choke.

A separate sidetrack exploration well 34/6-3 A on the "Akkar" prospect was drilled subsequently. The well encountered a net oil column of 12 meters in the Cook formation and was terminated in the Statfjord formation which was water bearing. Esitmated recoverable resources proved by the well was 3 mmboe. Sampling and data acquisition was carried out. The sidetrack well was not formation tested.

The updated resource range in PL554 is estimated at 40 - 90 mmboe. Extensive data analysis and studies have been launched to confirm the resource basis and to evaluate possible development scenarios.

Gohta 2 – PL492 (40 percent, partner)

Drilling of appraisal well 7120/1-4S on the Gohta discovery in PL492 in the Barents Sea commenced in late May. The well confirmed presence of oil and gas and two production tests were undertaken to further assess reservoir quality and permeability. The test of the gas zone was successful, whereas the test in the oil zone was inconclusive. The test in the oil zone was inconclusive due to seal issues, and produced 170,000 Sm3 gas/day from the overlying succession. The test in the gas condensate zone produced 700,000 Sm3 gas and 140 Sm3 oil per day. No changes have been made to the resource estimate for the Gohta discovery after the Gohta-2 well.

Heimdalshø – PL 494 (30 percent, operator)

Drilling of exploration well 2/9-5S on the Heimdalshø prospect in PL494 in the North Sea was completed in August. The well encountered a few thin sandstones with reservoir quality in the main target and only few and thin sandstones in the secondary target. No traces of hydrocarbons were proven.

Kvitvola – PL553 (40 percent, operator)

Drilling of exploration well 34/7-36 S T2 on the Kvitvola prospect in PL553 in the North Sea was completed in September. The well did not encounter hydrocarbons.

Business development

As part of a continuous program to optimise its portfolio, Det norske relinquishes exploration licenses, and farms in and out of licenses on a regular basis.

During the third quarter 2014, Det norske formally took over 40 percent in PL 457 following the previously announced swaps with Spike Exploration (20 percent) and E.ON (20 percent). As part of the same swap agreements, Det norske's working interest in PL554 was reduced from 20 to 10 percent, working interest in PL613 was reduced from 35 to 20 percent and working interest in PL676 S was reduced from 20 to 10 percent.

Integration of MONAS

On October 15, 2014, Det norske finalised the acquisition of MONAS. Following this acquisition, Det norske became a large and robust E&P company with close to 500 employees and activities through the exploration, development and production cycle. Measured by production, Det norske is among the largest listed independent European E&P companies.

New management systems as well as a new IT structure has been established and the previously communicated changes to the executive management team took effect from October 15. From the date of entering into the agreement, the two companies have successfully completed an ambitious integration process in just four and a half months.

Financing

On 2 June 2014, Det norske announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire MONAS Oil Norge AS for a cash consideration of USD 2.1 billion with effective date for the transaction being 1 January 2014.

The acquisition was financed through a combination of equity and debt. The new USD 3 billion reserve-based lending (RBL) facility became effective upon closing and the amount drawn on the USD 1 billion revolving credit facility (RCF) was repaid.

During the third quarter, the company strengthened its equity base by issuing NOK 3 billion in new equity through a rights issue. 61,911,239 new shares were issued at NOK 48.50 and following the rights issue, the company's new share capital is NOK 202,618,602 divided into 202,618,602 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 1. The rights issue was significantly over-subscribed.

During the third quarter, the company signed a reserve-based lending facility ("RBL Facility"), fully underwritten by BNP PARIBAS, DNB, Nordea and SEB. The RBL Facility is a senior secured seven-year USD 3 billion facility and includes an additional uncommitted accordion option of USD 1 billion. At closing in October, this long-term facility replaced the USD 2.2 billion acquisition loan. Det norske drew USD 2.65 billion on the RBL facility on closing of the transaction and paid USD 2.1 billion for the shares in MONAS. Moreover, Det norske repaid in full the amount drawn on the company's USD 1 billion revolving credit facility.

The RBL facility is on improved terms compared to the company's previous bank debt. Interest on the RBL is LIBOR plus a margin of 2.75 percent p.a, plus a utilization fee of 0.25 percent or 0.5 percent depending on the amount drawn under the facility. The available lending base under the RBL-facility is determined through a valuation of the company's reserves based on long-term input factors and is subject to semi-annual redeterminations.

Also during the quarter, Det norske notified Norsk Tillitsmann that the Company is exercising its call option for Bond issue DETNOR01 (ISIN NO 001059878.2) of NOK 600 million at 104.00 per cent of par value (plus accrued interest). This bond was settled on November 4, 2014.

With the RBL and the equity issue completed in the quarter, the company secured the financing of its current work program until first production from the Johan Sverdrup field.

MONAS operations update

Production from the Alvheim area was 56,300 boepd net to Det norske in the third quarter 2014. The Alvheim field (65 percent and operator) produced 37,800 boepd, Volund (65 percent and operator) 10,800 boepd and Vilje (46.9 percent and operator) 7,700 boepd net to Det norske.

A 95 percent production availability has been achieved in the quarter and a planned major maintenance shutdown in September was completed 1.5 days ahead of the two week scheduled duration. Production has otherwise remained stable during the quarter, and work on the Alvheim FPSO topside facilities has been completed to facilitate the start-up of the Bøyla field tie in early in 2015.

The Bøyla development has progressed well through the third quarter. The semisubmersible "Transocean Winner" was active the entire quarter drilling and completing the Bøyla development wells. This activity is comprised of two single lateral horizontal oil producers and one deviated water injection well. The rig has been active on all three wells by conducting similar operations sequentially to realise efficiency gains.

Status at the end of the quarter is that two of the wells, one producer and one injector are complete and ready to be hooked-up to the manifold. The other producer has been progressed to a point where the only outstanding section is drilling of the reservoir section and final completion of the well.

The rig is currently drilling the first of the IOR wells in the East Kameleon reservoir.

Apart from drilling and completing wells, the other main activity at Bøyla in the quarter has been installation, protection and hook-up of pipelines. A large number of Technip vessels have been involved and the scope was successfully completed ahead of the final pre start-up subsea diving campaign that started in October.

The scope for the ongoing diving campaign is hook-up of the two completed wells and remaining work to prepare the subsea installations for the commissioning and start-up phase.

A number of topsides modifications have been completed on the Alvheim FPSO, which is ready to receive Bøyla production. The project is on schedule for a start-up in the first quarter 2015.

The third and final planned production well will be completed and tied-in during the first half of 2015.

Combined pro-forma statement of financial posistion – Opening Balance The table below shows an unaudited draft of the opening consolidated statement of financial position, based on the third quarter numbers for Det norske and MONAS

The adjustment column in the table below is mainly based on a draft purchase price allocation ("PPA") where the consideration for the shares in MONAS has been allocated to the MONAS assets and liabilities based on a fair value assessment. The final PPA will be based on balances as of the transaction date for accounting purposes, in October 2014. Hence, the final PPA balance which will be the basis for the opening balance presented in the fourth quarter report will be different from the one presented here.

Total assets amounted to NOK 44.5 billion per September 30, 2014. Goodwill from the MONAS transaction is estimated to NOK 9.8 billion and consists mainly of technical goodwill. Technical goodwill arises from the deferred tax based on the difference between the fair value of the MONAS fields and their tax balances.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 7.1 billion. During the first nine months of 2014, the cash balance in MONAS has increased significantly, partly due to cash flow from operating activities as well as settlement of the MONAS cash pool, which held significant receivables as of year-end 2013. In addition, cash has been received from the sale of the Canadian oil sands projects previously held by MONAS. The increase in cash has partly been offset by the settlement of long-term group debt and the payment of a dividend to Marathon Oil Corp.

The increase in non-current liabilities in the PPA reflects the payment for the MONAS shares financed by the Reserve Based Loan facility. Interest-bearing debt at the end of the period was NOK 20.2 billion, consisting of NOK 16.5

billion drawn on the RBL, NOK 2.5 billion in bonds (DETNOR01 and DETNOR02) and NOK 1.2 billion drawn on the exploration facility. Adjusting for cash (NOK 7.1 billion) and tax refund for 2014 (NOK 1.4 billion), net interestbearing debt was thus NOK 11.7 billion.

Deferred tax increased due to excess values recognized for the MONAS assets. Tax payable in MONAS has been offset by the tax value of loss carried forward and expected payment from tax exploration refund for 2015 in Det norske.

Risks and uncertainties

Investment in Det norske involves risks and uncertainties as described in the company's annual report for 2013 and the half-year report for 2014.

As an oil and gas company exploring on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, exploration results, reserve and resource estimates and capex estimates are associated with uncertainty. The fields' production performance may be uncertain over time.

The company is exposed to various forms of financial risks, including, but not limited to, fluctuation in oil prices, exchange rates, interest rates and capital requirements. Sensitivity to oil price fluctuations has increased after the acquisition of MONAS, as demonstrated with the recent volatility in the oil market.

As of 30 September 2014, Det norske has not entered into any contracts or derivatives that hedge against oil price fluctuations, but some currency forward contracts and interest swap agreements have been established. Det norske closely monitors its risk exposure and assesses risk-reducing measures including hedging and loss-of production insurance.

The company is also exposed to uncertainties relating to the international capital markets and access to capital and this may influence the speed with which development projects can be accomplished.

Other business risk after the MONAS acquisition involve risks of unexpected shutdowns that can occur at the Alvheim FPSO as well as risks relating to capacity booking for transport of gas.

Outlook

The acquisition of MONAS was a transformational transaction for Det norske. MONAS's material portfolio of oil-producing assets, together with Det norske's development projects, provide a diversified and balanced asset base and creates a strong platform for future organic growth.

The company's short-term priority is to drive execution and ensure a successful integration, while building optionality for the medium-term. Delivering the Ivar Aasen project on time and budget is a key priority along with maximizing the value of the Alvheim area and securing our position in the Johan Sverdrup unitization.

With the reserve-based lending facility and the equity issue completed in August, the company secured the financing of its current work program until first production from the Johan Sverdrup field.

Based on preliminary plans, Det norske anticipates to drill 5 -7 exploration wells in the next twelve months.

During June, Det norske entered into two licence swaps which increase the company's share in the Ivar Aasen unit. In accordance with accounting principles, swaps of assets are recognised at fair value, unless the transaction lacks commercial substance or can not be reliably measured. In this swap, fair value has been calculated on the assets received, applying an income approach and present value technique to determine fair value.

Total gain related to the swaps including 40% share in PL 457 is calculated to approximately NOK 300 million.

Capitalized exploration expenditures are reclassified to "Fields under development" when the field enters into the development phase. Fields under development are reclassified to "Production facilities" from the start of production. Production facilities, including wells, are depreciated in accordance with the Unit of Production Method. Office machinery, fixtures and fittings etc. are depreciated using the straight-line method over their useful life, i.e. 3-5 years. Removal and decommisioning costs are included as "Production facilities".

*The Johan Sverdrup Field entered into the development phase during the first quarter 2014. All costs relating to the development are thus recognised as tangible assets, and previously capitalised exploration expenditures have been reclassified accordingly from intangible assets.

Subsequent to the unitization and the swaps including PL 457 (refer to note 3), the company`s share in the Ivar Aasen unit is 34.78%. The accounting of the unitization is based on historical cost rather than fair value. The accounting impacts of the unitization is presented as an addition in the fixed asset overview above.

The level of depreciation on the Jette field is high compared to the sales income from Jette products. The high depreciation rate is offset by a taxable income related to uplift on Jette investments.

The company's pension plan for all employees is during the quarter changed from a defined benefit plan to a defined contribution plan, effective from 1 October 2014. Based on actuarial calculations the settlement of the defined benefit plan is recorded per 30.09.2014. The effect of the settlement is that the pension liability is removed, and the plan assets are used to issue an insurance policy to each employee as settlement of the obligation. The settlement resulted in a gain which is recognised in payroll expenses by NOK 60 million. This is why the quarter payroll expenses are an income item.
