DNO Releases 2014 Annual Report and Accounts and Annual Statement of Reserves

Oslo, 20 March 2015 -- DNO ASA, the Norwegian oil and gas operator, today
released its 2014 Annual Report and Accounts together with its Annual Statement
of Reserves.

The company reported record levels of production in 2014, driven by strong
performance in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. Gross production across the
portfolio averaged 117,482 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) and company
working interest (CWI) production averaged 68,958 boepd.

Gross production from DNO's flagship Tawke field in Kurdistan jumped 131 percent
to 91,255 barrels of oil per day (bopd) in 2014, up from 39,433 bopd the prior
year. In addition to the rise in output, the company also made significant
progress towards its plans to double Tawke capacity to 200,000 bopd by the first
part of 2015.

DNO delivered operating revenue of USD 452 million in 2014 but a net loss of USD
226 million due to impairments. Excluding impairments, operating profit stood at
USD 53 million. These audited financial results are unchanged from the
previously reported preliminary figures.

Proved and probable (2P) reserves at the end of 2014 totaled 483.6 million
barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) on a CWI basis. The comparable figure at the
end of 2013 was 541.9 MMboe. The decrease reflected the shift away from
appraisal drilling to expansion of production capacity at Tawke and a record 33
million barrels produced from the field during the year. Lower oil prices and
operational results led to downward revisions at other fields.

Estimates of oil-in-place at the Benenan field in the Erbil license climbed to
more than two billion barrels, although in the absence of a comprehensive field
development plan, 2P reserves remain unchanged at 27 million barrels on a CWI
basis.

The 2014 Annual Report and Accounts and the 2014 Annual Statement of Reserves
are attached and are also available on the company's website www.dno.no.
