Mission and values

Our mission is to deliver attractive returns to shareholders by finding and producing oil and gas at low cost
and at an acceptable level of risk in a socially responsible and environmentally sensitive manner.

DNO's DNA is to be first, fair and firm. We are driven to stay ahead of our competition – and ahead of the opportunities. We treat stakeholders fairly by adhering to high standards of governance, business conduct and corporate social responsibility. We meet our commitments efficiently and transparently and expect the same of our suppliers, contractors, partners and host governments.

At DNO, we focus our efforts on areas where we have in-depth knowledge of the subsurface, playing to our technical and operational strengths as a fractured carbonate specialist, notably in Kurdistan. Wherever we operate, we look to minimize risk and maximize success through smart exploration, and, when a discovery is made, fast-track production.

Looking ahead, we will continue to actively pursue opportunities in high potential basins across the Middle East, the North Sea and West Africa with the goal of transforming resources into reserves at a low unit cost.

We are agile. We are flexible. We are resilient. We are DNO.
