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.

Weekly news, topics & discussion

This week, Vår Energi reported Q1 results very much in line with expectations. The company also reaffirmed its 2025 guidance and maintained its dividend. Also, OKEA reported a solid Q1, with production and prices slightly above our estimates. While a technical goodwill impairment reduces its dividend basket for 2025, we view this as non-material, as we do not expect any dividends before 2027. Meanwhile, we are 5% below consensus on Q1e EBIT ahead of Equinor’s Q1 results on 30 April (07:00 CET), ...

AUCTUS ON FRIDAY - 25/04/2025

Panoro Energy (PEN NO)C; Target price of NOK49 per share: Reserves addition much larger than expected – YE24 2P reserves were independently estimated at 42.3 mmbbl (+7.6 mmbbl vs YE23, representing a Reserve Replacement Ration of 309%). This figure far exceeds our previous expectation of 34.5 mmbbl for YE24 2P reserves - an estimate that included a 4 mmbbl addition in 1H24 to counterbalance 2024 production. The higher than expected reserves addition is driven by robust reservoir performance in G...
