LUNDIN PETROLEUM HAS SPUDDED NEMO APPRAISAL WELL, OFFSHORE NORWAY

The 7/4-2 appraisal well is aimed at proving up sufficient resources for an economic development of the Nemo Field, which was discovered in 1992. The reserves range for the Nemo Field is estimated to be 20-30 million barrels of oil (mmboe) in sandstones of Lower Jurassic/Upper Triassic age. The appraisal well is targeting the higher end of the reserves range.

Lundin Norway is the operator with 50 percent interest. Partners are Talisman Energy Norway (30%) and Norwegian Energy Company AS (Noreco) (20%).
