Lundin Completes Appraisal Well 16/4-8 S in Luno II Discovery

Lundin Petroleum AB (Lundin Petroleum), through its wholly owned subsidiary Lundin Norway AS (Lundin Norway), announces that drilling of appraisal well 16/4- 8 S in the Luno II discovery has been successfully completed.

The Luno II discovery is located approximately 15 km south of the Edvard Grieg field in the North Sea sector of the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). The well was drilled 4 km southeast of the Luno II discovery well.

The main objectives of well 16/4-8 S were to confirm the reservoir properties and petroleum potential of the Central South segment.

The well encountered about 500 metres of gross sandstone section of Jurassic/Triassic age. A gross oil column of 30 metres has been proven, underlying a thin gas cap. The pressure data indicates a barrier towards the discovery well 16/4-6 S. Extensive data acquisition and sampling was carried out in the reservoir, including conventional coring and fluid sampling.

One production test (DST) was performed in the oil zone, producing at a rate of 450 barrels per day through a 28/64” choke. Reservoir properties were lower than expected in this part of the structure.

Following the results of 16/4-8 S the revised gross contingent resource range for Luno II is estimated at between 27 and 71 million barrels of oil equivalents. The Luno II discovery is located wholly in PL359.

Appraisal well 16/4-8 S is the third well drilled in production license PL359 after it was awarded in 2006. The well was drilled to a total depth of 2,700 metres below mean sea level in a water depth of 100 metres.

The well was drilled using the semi-submersible drilling rig Bredford Dolphin. The well will be permanently plugged and abandoned before the rig proceeds to drill exploration well 33/12-10 S targeting the Vollgrav South prospect in production license PL631 where Lundin Norway is operator.

Two interest transactions in PL359 have been announced on the 17th June 2014 and 4th of July 2014.

Following these transactions, and subject to government approval, Lundin Norway holds a 50 percent interest in PL359, OMV Norge AS a 20 percent interest, Statoil Petroleum ASA a 15 percent interest and Wintershall Norge AS a 15 percent interest.
