- DNO ASA is a Norwegian oil and gas operator focused on the exploration, development and production of hydrocarbons primarily in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, the North Sea and West Africa; the company holds stakes in onshore and offshore licenses at various stages of exploration, development and production, including 75% operating interests in the Tawke and Peshkabir fields in Kurdistan containing reservoirs in Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic formations; additional assets encompass equity-accounted investments in Côte d’Ivoire’s Block CI-27, 85 offshore licenses in Norway, seven in the United Kingdom and one in the Netherlands, as well as operations in Yemen. Founded in 1971 and headquartered in Oslo, Norway, DNO ASA lists on the Oslo Stock Exchange and targets international markets through segments spanning Kurdistan, North Sea, West Africa and other regions, generating revenue mainly from oil sales supplemented by gas, natural gas liquids and tariff income.
