Update on Tawke PSC 
 
Genel Energy plc ('Genel') notes that DNO ASA, as operator of the Tawke PSC (Genel 25% working interest), has today 
issued an update on licence activity. 
 
Gross operated production from the Tawke licence averaged 110,300 bopd in 2020, about evenly split between the Tawke 
and Peshkabir fields, the sixth consecutive year in which gross Tawke licence production has averaged over 100,000 
bopd. 
 
With higher oil prices and more visibility on Kurdistan export payments, up to eight new development wells will be 
drilled at the Tawke licence and multiple workovers on existing producing wells will be undertaken in the drive to 
maintain production above 100,000 bopd. 
 
Between the middle of 2020 and the end of the year, a total of 2.4 bcf of Peshkabir field gas, which otherwise would 
have been flared, was piped and reinjected into the Tawke field for pressure maintenance, leading to an estimated 
200,000 barrels of incremental oil recovery and 400,000 barrels of reduced field water production. Another 0.3 bcf of 
gas were reinjected into the Peshkabir field itself. 
 
Genel will issue a trading and operations update tomorrow, 19 January.
