Highlights for the Second Quarter 2005
"Successful drilling in second quarter contributed to both increased oil production and further increase in the company's oil reserves. The second half of 2005 is going to be even busier as we have stepped up our drilling activity in Yemen. We hope to drill as much as 10 additional new wells in Yemen which provides a potential for a further increase in our reserves at low cost also in the remainder of the year",
says Managing Director of DNO ASA, Helge Eide.
In second quarter 2005 DNO had operating revenues of NOK 318.8 million (NOK 237.9 million) and an operating profit (EBIT) of NOK 167.4 million (NOK 111.6 million). Result after tax for second quarter 2005 was negative with NOK 23.7 million (NOK 16.5 million - net of discontinued activities) after NOK 45 million in exploration investments expensed.
