DNO: Kurdistan oil sales double to about 28,000 barrels in Q3

Norwegian DNO said its crude oil sales in the Kurdistan Region roughly doubled during the third quarter, coinciding with the resumption of production in the region in late June after operations were suspended for security reasons.

In its third-quarter operational results, the company said crude oil sales from Kurdistan rose to 28,058 barrels of oil equivalent per day, compared with 14,449 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the third quarter of 2025, while sales had been zero in the second quarter of 2026, according to Reuters.

The company added that realized oil prices in the region rose to $38.5 per barrel, compared with $31.2 per barrel in the third quarter of last year.

On production, total output from the Tawke and Fishkhabour oil fields operated by DNO in the region increased to 73,219 barrels per day, compared with 46,572 barrels per day in the same period a year earlier.

DNO resumed production in the Kurdistan Region in late June after suspending operations for security reasons following the US-Israeli attacks on Iran in late February.
