They indicated that current production plans for Nabrajah would increase from an initial level of 5,000 b/d in Q3 to some 15,000 b/d in Q4. The previous production estimate was 10-12,000 b/d in Q405. In addition, Oil Search announced a new drilling program of up to 3 new appraisal/production wells targeting the Basement in Nabrajah over the next 6 months. This could add significant production next year, when production capacity can be expanded. We believe DNO will increase its average production from the current production level of some 14,000 b/d to more than 30,000 b/d next year (average production for 2006). There is significant upside to this figure, if the basement appraisal program turns out to be a success. Oil Search states that there are good indications of a large Basement closure at Nabrajah. Total and Nexen produce from Basement in the adjacent Block 14 and Block 10 (located just south of the Sharyoof block). We have assumed a 50% probability of a 50 mb find in the Basement of Nabrajah in our target price of NOK 80/share. If successful, we have to increase our NAV with appr. NOK 8/share. Conclusion: The Oil Search report published last night confirms the case of a significant Basement find in Nabrajah and supports our target price of NOK 80/share. If the current studies of the Basement turns out successful, we have to increase our target price from NOK 80 to NOK 88/share as we have only put a 50% probability of success in our expected NAV.
