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. All payments are
made in advance of loadings with the vast majority transferred directly into
DNO's international bank accounts.
In the first quarter, DNO paid a dividend of NOK 0.3125 per share (totaling USD
27.4 million), which represents NOK 1.25 per share on an annualized basis. The
Company had no tax payments or refunds during the quarter.
In early March, DNO announced the transformative acquisition of Sval Energi
Group AS and DNO subsequently paid a deposit of USD 22.5 million to the seller.
The transaction is expected to be completed mid-year 2025.
Also in March, DNO completed the private placement of USD 600 million of new
five-year senior unsecured bonds. The early redemption of another bond, DNO04
(originally maturing in 2026), was completed on 10 April and did not impact the
Q1 2025 cash flow.
North Sea exploration
DNO participated in two discoveries on the Norwegian Continental Shelf in the
quarter, with combined recoverable resources of 26 million barrels of oil
equivalent net to DNO (mid-points of ranges). The Mistral well in PL1119 (10
percent interest) was spudded on 22 December and completed on 25 March, and the
operated Kjøttkake well (including a sidetrack) in PL1182 S (40 percent
interest) was spudded on 26 January and completed on 27 March. A third well,
Horatio in PL1109 (20 percent interest), was spudded on 5 February, completed on
22 March, and was dry.
