DNO Confirms Re-Start of Ops at Tawke

By John Lee.

DNO ASA, the Norwegian oil and gas operator, has issued its interim results for the 1st quarter of 2026.

Regarding its operations in Iraqi Kurdistan, the company said:

"Gross production from the DNO-operated Tawke license, containing the Tawke and Peshkabir fields averaged 52,800 boepd during the first quarter of 2026 (77,268 boepd in Q4 2025). The Tawke field contributed 21,994 boepd (29,095 boepd in Q4 2025) and the Peshkabir field contributed 30,805 boepd (48,173 boepd in Q4 2025) during the quarter. Net production is shown in the table below.

"DNO started the year with strong production from the Tawke license, where it also brought two newly drilled wells onstream early in the quarter. However, as a safety measure, the Company elected to temporarily halt production and drilling following the launch of U.S.-Israeli air strikes against Iran on 28 February.

"Limited field operations restarted on 9 April 2026, with resumption of workovers of existing wells and relaunch of the previously announced eight well drilling campaign in preparation for stepped-up rates of production from the Tawke and Peshkabir fields when security and market conditions improve.

"DNO holds a 75 percent operated interest in the Tawke license with partner Genel Energy International Limited holding the remaining 25 percent.

"At the Baeshiqa license (64 percent and operated), the Company works to minimize license running cost while determining its future work program."
