Oslo, 17 November 2023: PetroNor E&P ASA (the "Company") has received the final
ruling from the ICSID arbitration tribunal in a proceeding between the Company's
subsidiary African Petroleum Senegal Limited ("APSL") and the Republic of
Senegal. 

The ruling rejects claims by APSL and counter claims by the Republic of Senegal.
APSL has been ordered to pay approximately USD 3 million in respect of 90% of
the ICSID costs and the Republic of Senegal's legal expenses.

APSL is considering all options available in relation to this disappointing
ruling including filing an application for annulment as provided for in the
ICSID Convention. Further information will be provided to the market as and when
any decisions in this regard have been made.

The Senegal Offshore Sud Profond and Rufisque Offshore Profond licences were
awarded to APSL in 2011. In July 2018, APSL registered arbitration proceedings
with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID)
(case ARB/18/24) to protect its interests in the licences. The combined licences
cover an area of 15,796 km2 and since the start of the arbitration process they
have had nil carrying value in financial statements of the Company due to the
previous uncertainty of the final ruling.
