Comments from C. Ashley Heppenstall, President and CEO

The major news in the third quarter was clearly the announcement of increased
resources in the Avaldsnes discovery offshore Norway. It is truly remarkable
that a discovery of this size and quality could be made by Lundin Petroleum in
the heart of the Norwegian North Sea 45 years after the first exploration
activity began in area. There is no question in my mind that this discovery
will contribute a significant percentage of total North Sea production in years
to come and due to its size, location and quality of reservoir will one of the
most valuable discoveries ever made in the North Sea.

Lundin Petroleum produced a net result for the first nine months of MUSD 169.3.
The strong production performance continues and has resulted in operating cash
flow of MUSD 586.8 and EBITDA of MUSD 767.3 for the period. Our balance sheet
remains very much under leveraged with net debt of only MUSD 125.

I am very proud that we have been able to grow the company to a market value of
USD 8 billion over the 10 years without asking our shareholders for any new
equity. This success doesn't come without hard work and sacrifices from my
management team and employees. Ten years ago in my first Letter to Shareholders
when we started Lundin Petroleum I talked about our late founder Adolf Lundin's
life long quest to find the elusive elephant - or billion barrel oil field. My
parting quote was 'Lundin Petroleum plans to deliver'. Well Adolf we delivered
and I know you are looking down on us all a very proud man. We are looking
forward to the next 10 years and intend to continue to deliver.
