Acquisition of Sval Energi Group AS

7 March 2025

Sval Energi acquisition is transformational for DNO

  • Sval Energi Overview Key figures1 • USD 1.6 billion acquisition of Sval Energi Group AS from HitecVision
  • Non-operated interests in 16 Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) producing fields including in Greater Ekofisk and Gjøa areas and Martin Linge and Kvitebjørn fields
  • With net 2024 production of 64,100 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) and proven and probable (2P) reserves of 141 million of barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) and 2C resources of 102 MMboe
  • Portfolio, split about equally between liquids and gas, is highly cash generative (cash flow from operations totaled USD 565 million in 2024) with low production cost (USD 14 per boe) and limited near-term investments
  • Acquisition will be financed with existing cash and other debt financing facilities available to DNO
  • At yearend 2024, the Company held USD 900 million in cash and a further USD 100 million liquidity under its reserve-based lending (RBL) facility to be supplemented by combination of new bond and RBL debt as well as offtake-based financing
  • Capital structure to be optimized prior to completion

Note: 2P reserves based on RNB resource class 1-3 and 2C resources based on RNB resource class 4-7. EBITDAX is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and exploration expenses. CFFO is cash flow from operations. Both EBITDAX and CFFO are unaudited figures for Sval Energi's E&P business.

Sval Energi's portfolio fits like a glove on DNO's hand

  • Sval Energi is a rare opportunity to acquire a portfolio of high-quality oil and gas NCS assets
  • And DNO has moved fast to capture it
  • Brings scale and diversification to the Company
  • Boosts global production by two thirds to around 140,000 boepd and 2P reserves by 50 percent to 423 million boe
  • Turns the North Sea into the biggest contributor to DNO's net production with some 60 percent of the total with the balance coming predominantly from two operated fields in the Kurdistan region of Iraq
  • North Sea production quadruples to around 80,000 boepd, which will help underpin development of DNO's numerous recent discoveries in Norway
  • Sval Energi's extensive portfolio, which includes interests in hubs and existing tiebacks in DNO's core areas, provides potential development synergies with these discoveries
  • Also provides tax synergies, G&A savings and lower DNO's borrowing costs
