DNO’s working interest production increased from 23,478 bopd in June to 27,279 bopd in July, and net entitlement production increased from 15,135 to 17,621 bopd. The increase is mainly due to higher deliveries of crude oil from the Tawke field to the local market in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
As previously stated, deliveries from Tawke may fluctuate significantly going forward, and DNO is expecting somewhat decrease in the August deliveries.
