Selected cash flow items
DNO's share of crude oil from the Tawke license during the quarter has been sold
to local buyers as the Iraq-Türkiye Pipeline remained closed. Payments are
deposited directly into DNO's international bank accounts in advance of
loadings.
In the third quarter, DNO paid a dividend of NOK 0.3125 per share (totaling USD
29 million), which was up 25 percent from prior quarterly distributions. The
Company had no tax payments or refunds during the quarter.
The acquisition of stakes in five oil and gas fields in the Norne area in the
Norwegian Sea announced in May was completed on 30 August. Net cash
consideration paid by DNO was approximately USD 24 million. The transfer of
DNO's 22.6 percent interest in Ringhorne East to Vår Energi, the other element
of the swap, was completed on the same date.
Other items and information
DNO participated in two exploration wells in the Norwegian North Sea in the
quarter. The Heisenberg/Angel well in PL827SB (49 percent interest) was spudded
on 18 August and completed on 16 September. The well delineated the play-opening
2023 Heisenberg oil and gas discovery and confirmed the volume estimate of 24 to
56 MMboe but the deeper Angel exploration target was found to be mainly water
wet. The operated Falstaff well (50 percent interest) was spudded on 20
September and drilling was ongoing as of end of Q3 2024.
Other drilling activities during the quarter included the B-3 well in Kurdistan
at the DNO-operated Baeshiqa license (64 percent interest), which was spudded on
21 February, completed on 26 July and was ongoing a testing program as of end of
Q3 2024.
