DNO International ASA: DNO International reports a working interest production of 23,478 bopd in June 2010

July 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment

DNO’s working interest production increased from 11,431 bopd in May to 23,477 bopd in
June. On a quarterly basis, the working interest production increased from 12,442 bopd
in the first quarter to 15,748 in the second quarter.

The strong increase in June was related to short term sales arrangements for crude oil
deliveries to the local market in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (Kurdistan).

“The Company expects to maintain the June level of crude oil deliveries in Kurdistan
also for July, but the August production is likely to be lower due to Ramadan. As the
current production volumes in Kurdistan are based on short term delivery arrangements,
the local sales in Kurdistan may continue to show significant fluctuations going
forward”, says Helge Eide, Managing Director of DNO International ASA.

Complete production report is attached.
