Corporate overview

  • On track to profitability in 2016
  • Financial performance bolstered by higher oil prices and seven consecutive monthly payments for oil produced in Kurdistan, the last three in line with contractual entitlements
  • Normalization of payments has led to stepped up investments at the Tawke field, with production to continue to climb in 2016 following drilling of five new production wells and workover of ten existing ones
  • Among three key foreign operators in Kurdistan, DNO solidifies lead as first in oil production (50 percent), oil exports (60 percent) and proven oil reserves (50 percent)
  • Tawke proven oil reserves increased 21 percent last year to 387 million barrels on improved confidence about primary recovery, though probable reserves declined with partial re-categorization to contingent resources
  • Continue to rationalize company portfolio to focus on core assets while evaluating growth opportunities, including new country entries

Q1 2016 operational highlights

  • Total DNO operated production in Q1 2016 of 97,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd)
  • Of which Tawke represented 91,700 bopd (87,200 bopd delivered for pipeline export through Turkey)
  • Kurdistan production impacted by extended closure of the Turkish portion of export pipeline during second half of February and first half of March
  • Once normal pipeline operations restored and following successful completion of first set of well workovers at the field, Tawke production climbed to 118,900 bopd in April (117,800 bopd delivered for export)
  • Oman production averaged 5,300 boepd during Q1 2016

Q1 2016 financial highlights

  • Q1 revenues of USD 50 million, of which Kurdistan share was USD 47 million
  • Fourth consecutive quarter in which DNO revenues totaled USD 50 million or higher
  • Planned capital investments totaling USD 100 million in 2016 funded by cash from operations
  • Continue to strengthen our balance sheet
  • Exited Q1 with cash balance of USD 262 million, up from USD 238 million at end-2015

Operational review

In Kurdistan, CWI production totaled 56,863 boepd during the first quarter, down from 84,801 boepd during the fourth quarter. Kurdistan production was impacted by the extended closure of the Turkish portion of the export pipeline during the second half of February and first half of March.

Net entitlement production totaled 25,139 boepd during the first quarter compared to 27,542 boepd in the previous quarter.

Activity overview

Appraisal and field development

Kurdistan region of Iraq

Tawke license

Gross production from the Tawke field averaged 91,700 bopd during the first quarter of 2016, of which 87,200 bopd was delivered for pipeline export through Turkey. Production was impacted by the extended closure of the Turkish portion of the export pipeline during the second half of February and first half of March. Once normal pipeline operations were restored and following successful completion of the first set of workover wells at the field, Tawke production climbed to 118,900 bopd in April, of which 117,800 bopd was delivered for export.

New investments are expected to increase Tawke production from around 120,000 bopd currently to 135,000 bopd. The company completed workovers of three wells during the first quarter, reversing declines and adding 10,000 bopd in incremental production in 30 days and at a cost of USD 1.5 million. Five workover wells are planned during the second quarter with another two during the fourth quarter. The Tawke 2016 drilling program includes five new production wells, including three Cretaceous and two Jeribe, as well as one water disposal well.

The company also plans to spud the Peshkabir-2 well during the third quarter to appraise the previous Jurassic discovery and explore the Cretaceous zone. Drilling is to be completed by yearend and if successful, the Peshkabir field can be quickly brought on production using existing infrastructure.

Erbil license

Testing has shown higher volumes of oil-in-place for the Benenan heavy oil field, currently estimated to hold more than two billion barrels. An appraisal of commercialization is ongoing.

Oman

Offshore at Block 8, the Bukha and West Bukha fields produced an average of 5,300 boepd during the first quarter of 2016, of which output was roughly split equally between oil and gas. An additional well remains under consideration to increase West Bukha oil and gas output.

United Arab Emirates

Saleh field continues to produce small volumes of gas and liquids on an intermittent basis.

Yemen

Production from Block 32 and Block 43 remains suspended due to the continuing deterioration in security conditions.

Exploration

Oman

The company spud the Hayah-1 exploration well at the onshore Block 36 in February 2016 and expects to reach target depth of 2,700 meters by the end of May. The acreage is located in the prolific Rub al-Khali basin – in the southwestern part of Oman bordering Saudi Arabia and Yemen – covering a surface area of more than 18,000 square kilometers.

Tunisia

The company's exploration and appraisal program is continuing in Tunisia, with 3D seismic activity planned ahead of drilling a well in 2017 at the Sfax Offshore Exploration Permit.

United Arab Emirates

The company continues work on reprocessing existing seismic data and an associated basin study on the RAK Onshore license.

Somaliland

At Block SL 18 onshore Somaliland, a field geological survey and an environmental impact assessment have been conducted. A gravity-magnetic survey was successfully completed at the block in December 2015. The government is in the process of creating an oil security force to support seismic acquisitions.

Provisions for a water purification capacity building project in the Kurdistan region of Iraq are included in other long-term obligations and other provisions and charges for the Tawke license.

The WPP liability is not currently payable and eventual payments will be contingent on defined gross revenue levels and will be fully recoverable through cost oil. Changes in the timing of these payments may change the net present value of the liability and the calculated interest. The WPP liability is recorded at net present value, where the unwinding of interest is charged to profit or loss. Part of the WPP liability has been classified as short-term as of 31 March 2016 and included in other provisions and charges (current).

Provision for production bonuses for the Tawke and Erbil licenses in the Kurdistan region of Iraq is also included in provision for other liabilities and charges. Production bonuses relate to payments based on different production levels.
