History

Det Norske Oljeselskap (now DNO International) was founded in 1971. Pertra was created when the oil exploration and production division of Petroleum Geo-Services was demerged in 2001.

In 2007, the new Det Norske Oljeselskap was created by merger of a Norwegian oil company Pertra and the Norwegian interests of DNO.[4] In 2009, a Norwegian oil company Aker Exploration merged with Det Norske Oljeselskap. On May 21, 2013, the company announced it had produced its first oil as an operator from the Jette field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.
