Lundin Energy’s 2P reserves include a positive revision of 39 MMboe, and the 3P include a positive revision of 44 MMboe compared to year end 2020. The best estimate net contingent resources (2C resources) as at

The increase in 2P reserves relates primarily to the Edvard Grieg and Solveig fields. The Edvard Grieg reservoir continues to outperform and together with a successful infill well campaign, reserves have increased by 17 percent. The gross ultimate recovery for Edvard Grieg is now 379 MMboe, which is an increase of over 100 percent since the PDO. Drilling results and early production performance on the Solveig phase 1 development has resulted in an increase of 20 percent in 2P reserves. Overall, the Greater

“2021 has been another year of great performance with resource additions of over 140 MMboe representing a resource replacement ratio of over 200%. The Edvard Grieg area has continued to increase its reserves base and is now more than double the size compared to the original PDO estimates, and I am convinced that we will continue to grow in this area. We have many exciting opportunities and projects being worked through the course of 2022 and are planning to sanction three projects in the Edvard Grieg area in late 2022, as well as planning for the next phase of infill drilling on Edvard Grieg.
“Johan Sverdrup is truly a world class asset and we are only just starting to see the potential from this field. We have included infill wells into the 2P reserves base for the first time which extends the plateau production period and we still see significant opportunities to continue to not only grow the reserves, but to accelerate production and extend the plateau.”
1 BOE’s may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf : 1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent the value equivalency at the wellhead.
2 The reserves were calculated using a nominal Brent oil price of
3 Total resource replacement ratio is the sum of 2P reserves revisions and 2C Contingent resources revisions including assets transactions divided by the yearly production.
4 Reserves are measured in saleable quantities (saleable oil, natural gas liquids and dry gas converted to oil equivalents), which may differ from production volumes provided in corporate reports which are given in wellhead production quantities (oil and rich gas converted to oil equivalents).
5 As per industry standards the reserves replacement ratio is defined as the ratio of reserves additions to production during the year, excluding the effect of acquisitions and dispositions.
