DNO ASA is a Norway‐based upstream oil and gas exploration and production company. Founded in 1971 and headquartered in Oslo, the company pursues the discovery, development and production of hydrocarbon resources across multiple international territories. DNO’s growth strategy focuses on high‐impact exploration and efficient field development, leveraging technical expertise to optimize reservoir performance and extend production life.
The company’s core operations are concentrated in the Middle East and North Africa. In the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, DNO holds interests in the Tawke and Peshkabir fields, which together represent its largest producing assets. In Oman, the firm is advancing exploration and appraisal activities in Block 47, targeting both conventional and unconventional reservoirs. DNO has also held assets in Yemen, including the Marib and Shabwa concessions, although production in that country has been disrupted by regional security challenges.
In addition to its Middle Eastern portfolio, DNO maintains a presence in the North Sea through participation in producing fields and exploration licenses on the Norwegian continental shelf. The company applies modern seismic and drilling technologies to identify new prospects, while its development programs emphasize cost control, reservoir management and environmental stewardship. DNO markets crude oil and natural gas to regional and international buyers under long‐term arrangements and spot contracts.
Led by Chief Executive Officer Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani, DNO’s management team brings decades of experience in upstream operations, finance and project execution. The board and executive leadership are tasked with advancing the company’s strategic objectives, strengthening its exploration pipeline and maintaining safe, reliable production. DNO ASA remains committed to disciplined capital allocation and sustainable resource development in the regions where it operates.
