DNO in Q2 2011: A record breaking operational p...

DNO International showed strong performance in the second quarter of 2011 with a
working interest production of 48,582 barrels of oil per day (bopd), doubling of
the reserves at the Tawke field and good financial performance.

Sales recognized in the second quarter this year increased to NOK 732 million,
up from NOK 284.7 million in the same quarter 2010. EBITDA was NOK 564.9 million
in this quarter, up from NOK 171.2 million in the second quarter last year.

"DNO International achieved strong results so far this year. The excellent
reservoir quality of the Tawke field in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq has been
proved through stable high production in the first half of 2011. I am also very
satisfied with our Yemen team that has maintained our planned production level
and good cash flow despite the difficult situation in the country", says
Managing Director Helge Eide.

"The reported cash position of NOK 1.25 billion at the end of the second quarter
and the additional NOK 521 million in proceeds from the today announced sale of
shares in Det norske oljeselskap ASA provides a rock solid financial platform
for further development and growth of DNO International", says Eide.
