Dana Petroleum Netherlands BV

Creating a leading international oil and gas company

At a glance

Dana Petroleum was formed in 1994 to exploit opportunities in the UK North Sea. Today we’re a $3 billion oil and gas business with operations in the UK, Egypt, Norway, The Netherlands and Africa producing 55,000 barrels of oil a day.
Our ambition is to grow to become a leading international oil and gas company operating in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, more than doubling in size by 2016. We will invest more than $5 billion over the next five years to more than double the size of the company and create value for our shareholders.

Dana was acquired by the Korean National Oil Corporation (KNOC) in October 2010. Korea is the eighth fastest growing economy in the world. It is also the fifth largest importer of oil and second largest importer of liquefied natural gas. So, energy security is the key issue. KNOC’s vision is to meet the future energy needs of Korea and Dana has a significant role to play.
