Scaling up in Kurdistan

  • Increased spending in Kurdistan to optimize production from existing wells at the flagship Tawke license (Tawke and Peshkabir fields) (DNO 75 percent and operator)
  • Gross Tawke license production continuing to rise, averaging 83,500 boepd in the first half of Q3 2024, up five percent from Q2 2024 and nine percent from Q1 2024
  • To help address natural field decline, in addition to placing previously drilled wells into production, DNO prepares to mobilize a rig to drill the first new well on the license since early 2023
  • As export pipeline remains shut, Kurdistan sales to local traders continue at prices in upper USD 30s per barrel with payment in advance to our international bank accounts
  • On its other operated license in Kurdistan, Baeshiqa (DNO 64 percent), a 72-day testing program has commenced on the newly drilled B-3 well

Financial results – key figures

  • Revenue decline since Q1 2024 due to underlift and lower prices in North Sea and lower entitlement production in Kurdistan
  • Q2 2024 operating profit negatively impacted by goodwill impairment related to Arran acquisition
  • On net profit, Arran impairment more than offset by associated tax income (net positive effect of USD 20 million)

Cash flow

  • Q2 2024 operational cash flow of USD 139 million (USD 100 million in Q1 2024)
  • There were no tax payments or refunds during Q2 2024 (same as in Q1 2024)
  • Net investing activities of USD 121 million (USD 51 million in Q1 2024) largely consist of USD 61 million in organic asset investments and USD 60 million in acquisitions
  • Net cash inflows from financing activities of USD 318 million (outflow of USD 162 million in Q1 2024) driven by bond issue of USD 350 million (net of partial redemption of DNO04)

Capital structure

  • Q2 2023 Q3 2023 Q4 2023 Q1 2024 Q2 2024
  • Solid balance sheet with cash deposits increased by bond issue, leaving net cash largely unchanged
