Due to new production wells on both the Tasour- and Sharyoof fields, the Yemen production has increased to 12.252 BOPD during the 3rd quarter. This is up 1.222 BOPD (11 %) from the 2nd quarter. On Tasour another production well (Tasour # 14) is expected to come on stream in the beginning of November. This well is located within the same area as Tasour # 13 on the western flank of the field.
 
The production from the Glitne field is still shut down as a consequence of the lock-out situation.
 
Despite the loss of production from the Glitne field, DNO's overall production  increased by 1.190 BOPD compared to the 2nd quarter, which is an increase of 9%.
