DNO International Completes Tunisian Acquisition

Oslo, 20 January 2014 -- DNO International ASA, the Norwegian oil and gas
company, today announced completion of the farm-in by its wholly-owned
subsidiary DNO Tunisia AS to the Sfax Offshore Exploration Permit and the Ras El
Besh Concession in the Republic of Tunisia, pursuant to the previously announced
agreement with Eurogas International Inc. and Atlas Petroleum Exploration
Worldwide Ltd.

DNO Tunisia AS now holds an 87.5 percent participating (100 percent paying)
interest in the permit and the concession, in respect of which it has assumed
operatorship and a significant share of the existing cost pool.

The Sfax Offshore Exploration Permit and the Ras El Besh Concession are located
in the prolific Gulf of Gabes and cover 3,296 square kilometres, mostly offshore
in shallow waters. To date, three discoveries have been made with combined gross
recoverable resources ranging between 35 million to 60 million barrels of oil.
These assets hold significant exploration potential with 29 identified prospects
which in the aggregate are estimated to contain between 500 million to 700
million barrels of oil of gross unrisked resources.

"Having finalised the transaction and received government approvals we will
proceed now with a fast track exploration and development program designed to
materially expand our footprint in Tunisia," said Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani, DNO
International's Executive Chairman.

The company also holds interests in the Hammamet Exploration Permit and the
Fkirine Prospecting Permit, both offshore Tunisia.
