LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear fellow Shareholders,

We have seen oil prices fall further over the last three months to current levels where spot Brent is trading around USD 50 per barrel. It has become very clear that OPEC or more particularly Saudi Arabia is pursuing a policy to maintain market share. They are attempting, and I believe will be successful, in forcing high cost producers, particularly North American shale oil producers, to curtail production growth. There is currently a lot of uncertainty as to how long a period of low oil prices it will take to balance supply with demand and indeed where oil prices will trade during this period. I personally believe we are close to the bottom right now but there is certainly a possibility that we may see oil prices go even lower.

Our current producing and development assets as well as Johan Sverdrup will all generate value to shareholders at current oil prices but I believe strongly that the majority of our industry does not have a sustainable future if oil prices remain for the long term at these levels. I do believe that one of the positives that will come out of this down cycle will be an industry wide focus on cost levels and a serious attempt to introduce more standardisation and efficiency. However I think that will be insufficient to sustain a viable industry at today's prices. In terms of new greenfield oil development projects Johan Sverdrup is probably one of the few that will still go ahead based upon current prices. We should remember that this is one of the five largest discoveries ever made in Norway and it will be at the bottom of the cost curve because of its sheer size and favourable location.

Oil prices will recover as they have in previous cycles. Current oversupply which is estimated at up to 2 million barrels per day represents only about 2 percent of demand. This oversupply will be eroded and oil prices will recover in the medium to long term.

Lundin Petroleum is well prepared to weather the storm and will come out of this cycle as a stronger and much more valuable company. We are generating positive cash flow even at low oil prices due to our low cash operating costs and negligible cash taxes. Our production growth will ensure that our operating cash flow grows despite lower commodity prices. Our balance sheet is strong. We continue to have access to third party bank funding supported particularly by our long reserve life Norwegian asset base. We have approved a 2015 budget which predominantly focuses on the completion of our development projects in Norway and Malaysia as well as an appraisal and exploration drilling programme on our core Utsira High and Barents Sea south areas. However we are not complacent and will constantly review our expenditure plans in light of how markets develop.

Financial Results

Our objective is to deliver sustainable financial returns to our shareholders. It is obviously disappointing that the impact of unsuccessful exploration, asset impairment and non-cash foreign exchange losses resulted in a financial loss in 2014. But I am encouraged that our business continues to be cash generative with EBITDA and operating cash flow of USD 670 million and USD 1.14 billion respectively despite the reduction in oil prices.

Two of four development projects onstream - Production to exceed 75,000 boepd by year end 2015

Our production for 2014 was 24,900 boepd as compared to our guidance of 24,000 to 29,000 boepd. We were in the lower half of the range due to delays to production start-up at the Brynhild field.

I am pleased that the Brynhild and Bøyla fields, offshore Norway have now commenced production. And with the Bertam and Edvard Grieg development projects due to come onstream in the second and fourth quarter of this year we are forecasting 2015 production of between 41,000 and 51,000 boepd with a 2015 exit rate of over 75,000 boepd. It is very encouraging to see our production rates starting to increase again and I remain confident in our target to triple production over the course of 2015.

We are making good progress with the Bertam and Edvard Grieg development projects which both remain on schedule. I have just returned from South East Asia where Bertam is on track for first oil in the second quarter of 2015. The Bertam FPSO refurbishment is now complete and the vessel will sail from Singapore to the Bertam field later this month for final hook up and installation. The jacket and topsides have already been successfully installed and completed development wells are ready to commence production. Similarly we are on schedule to load out the completed Edvard Grieg topsides in the spring for offshore installation. Hook up and commissioning will be completed during the summer prior to first oil in the fourth quarter 2015. I believe both projects are today substantially de risked - procurement and construction are substantially complete, operations teams are ready and development drilling is ongoing.

The plan of development for Johan Sverdrup is scheduled to be delivered to the Norwegian Government later this month. The unitisation process will be completed prior to the submission of the plan of development. This will be a major milestone not only for Lundin Petroleum but for the Norwegian offshore industry. We have always believed since our initial discovery of Johan Sverdrup back in 2010 that we had something very special. The size, quality and location of this asset are unique and will be the cornerstone of our Company's growth for many years to come.

Exploration

In today's oil price environment there is little focus from the markets on exploration assets. Indeed many view them as a liability. We however continue to believe in higher medium term oil prices and as such the key to create long term value will remain access to resources. We do believe the best way to do this is through an organic growth model driven by exploration drilling.

We are very excited with the potential in the southern Barents Sea following our Gohta and Alta discoveries. We will appraise the Alta discovery in 2015 and drill exploration wells to test nearby prospectivity. I believe that as the major licence holder in this area we will find significant additional oil resources and ultimately this will act as a catalyst for the development of this region. We are taking a long term view which in the future will deliver value from this region for our shareholders. It is critical that exploration continues in the region despite current markets.

2015 Objectives

Our objectives for 2015 are very clear. We will deliver on our promise of project execution by bringing the Bertam and Edvard Grieg fields onstream to meet our year end production target. The Johan Sverdrup development project will be sanctioned and will secure a pipeline of further production growth for our Company of in excess of 150,000 boepd. The potential of the southern Barents Sea will be tested through our summer appraisal and exploration drilling programme. We will manage the liquidity constraints of whatever oil price the market throws at us to ensure the long term value of our business is preserved.

Finally we will continue to do this in a way which takes account of preserving our environment, the health and safety of all our stakeholders and which fulfils our stated goal of being a responsible corporate citizen.

Yours Sincerely,

C. Ashley Heppenstall President and CEO

Stockholm, 4 February 2015

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

Lundin Petroleum has exploration and production assets focused upon three core areas, Norway, South East Asia and Continental Europe. Norway continues to represent the majority of Lundin Petroleum's operational activities with production for the financial year of 2014 accounting for 71 percent of total production and with 79 percent of Lundin Petroleum's total reserves as at the end of 2014.

RESERVES AND RESOURCES

Lundin Petroleum has 187.5 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) of reserves as at 31 December 2014 as certified by an independent third party. Lundin Petroleum also has a number of discovered oil and gas resources which classify as contingent resources and are not yet classified as reserves. Excluding the major Johan Sverdrup field located in Norway, the best estimate contingent resources net to Lundin Petroleum amount to 404 MMboe as at 31 December 2014. The Johan Sverdrup field contains gross contingent resources of between 1.8 and 2.9 billion boe as disclosed by pre-unit working operator Statoil. The Johan Sverdrup field is situated in licences PL501, PL502 and PL265 in Norway. Lundin Petroleum has a 40 percent interest in PL501 and a 10 percent interest in PL265.

PRODUCTION

Production for the year amounted to 24.9 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (Mboepd) (compared to 32.7 Mboepd in 2013) and was comprised as follows:

1 Lundin Petroleum's working interest (WI)

Production from the Alvheim field during the year has been better than forecast due to continued good reservoir performance, better FPSO uptime, and better than expected production from two wells which came back onstream during April 2014 following work-over activity. The production outperformance was partially offset by two short weather related shut-ins of the Alvheim FPSO during the first quarter of 2014. Production on the Alvheim FPSO was shut-in for approximately two weeks during September 2014 for planned maintenance work and completion of the Bøyla (WI 15%) tie-in scope. One producing well on Alvheim has been shut-in since November 2013 and a work-over of this well is scheduled during 2015. The drilling of a new infill well on Alvheim commenced during the fourth quarter of 2014 and the well is expected to commence production during the second quarter of 2015. Two further infill wells are planned to be drilled in 2015 with production from these two wells expected to commence in late 2015 or early 2016. The development of the Viper/Kobra accumulations within the Alvheim field was sanctioned by the Alvheim partnership in December 2014 with expected production start-up in late 2016. The Viper/Kobra resources have consequently been moved into reserves as at 31 December 2014. The cost of operations for the Alvheim field, excluding well intervention work, was approximately USD 5 per barrel during the year.

The Volund field production during the year has been below forecast due to a combination of two short weather related shut-ins of the Alvheim FPSO, lower liquid throughput compared to the forecast and a higher water-cut than forecast. The under performance has been partly offset by better than forecast FPSO uptime. Further infill opportunities have been identified on the Volund field and it is the intention to drill at least one infill well during 2016. The contingent resources associated with the infill target have consequently been moved into reserves as at 31 December 2014. The cost of operations for the Volund field, during the year was below USD 4 per barrel.

Production from the Brynhild field commenced on 25 December 2014. Two production wells have been completed and are available for production whilst the drilling and completion of the third well is ongoing. The production capacity from the first well was confirmed as production initially reached plateau. However during the first month of production the production rate has been below plateau due to an expected combination of facilities and well optimisation as well as weather related issues. The field is expected to ramp-up to a sustainable plateau of 12,000 boepd during the next few weeks. The fourth and final development well on Brynhild will be drilled immediately after the third well has been completed.

The Gaupe field produced as per forecast. The field is currently shut-in with the potential to recommence limited production in 2015 subject to economic conditions. However no reserves have been booked for the Gaupe field.

Development

1Gross contingent resource range as disclosed by pre-unit working operator Statoil

Bøyla

The Bøyla field commenced production on 19 January 2015. The Bøyla field has been developed as a 28 km subsea tie-back to the Alvheim FPSO with two production wells and one water injection well. The production manifold was successfully installed during the first quarter of 2014 and the Transocean Winner rig has completed the drilling of two wells and the top hole section of the final production well. Subsea work to tie in the first two wells has been completed and production has commenced from one well. The second, and final, production well will be finalised and tied-in during the second quarter of 2015.

Edvard Grieg

The Edvard Grieg field development is well advanced and is progressing on schedule and on budget. The steel jacket was successfully installed offshore during the second quarter of 2014 and the installation of the 94 km gas pipeline to the Sage Beryl gas system was completed during the third quarter 2014. The construction work of the topsides by Kværner is substantially complete and onshore commissioning is ongoing. Installation of the oil export pipeline to the Grane field connection is ongoing. The installation of the topsides is planned during the second quarter of 2015. Development drilling commenced during the third quarter of 2014 with the Rowan Viking jack-up rig. First oil from the Edvard Grieg field is expected in the fourth quarter of 2015 following the completion of the offshore hook-up and commissioning.

The appraisal well 16/1-18 on the southeastern part of the Edvard Grieg field was successfully completed during the year. The well encountered 62 metres of moderate to good reservoir quality sandstone. A further appraisal well is planned in the southern part of Edvard Grieg during 2015 to better understand the distribution of this sandstone with the potential to increase reserves.

Ivar Aasen

During the year the Ivar Aasen field, which is located immediately to the north of the Edvard Grieg field, has been unitised across three licences PL001b/PL242, PL338BS (WI 50%) and PL457. The PL338BS is a stratigraphic carve-out of PL338 with the same ownership as in PL338 (WI 50%). PL338BS has been assigned a 2.77 percent unitised interest in the Ivar Aasen development which therefore gives Lundin Petroleum a net ownership in the Ivar Aasen unit of 1.385 percent. The unitised interest is not subject to any re-determination. The operator of Ivar Aasen, Det norske oljeselskap (Det norske), estimates the field to contain gross reserves of 192 MMboe excluding the Hanz discovery which is not a part of the Ivar Aasen unit. Ivar Aasen is being developed with a steel jacket platform with the topside facilities consisting of a living quarter and drilling facilities with oil, gas and water separation and onward export to the Edvard Grieg platform for final processing and pipeline export. Ivar Aasen is forecast to come onstream during the fourth quarter of 2016 and Lundin Petroleum has reported its 1.385 percent unitised interest as reserves as at 31 December 2014.

Johan Sverdrup

Lundin Petroleum discovered the Johan Sverdrup field in 2010 with the well 16/2-6 drilled on PL501 (WI 40%). A total of 22 wells and seven sidetracks have been drilled on the Johan Sverdrup field and the appraisal campaign is complete. In December 2013, Statoil, the pre-unit working operator of the field, released an updated gross contingent resource estimate for the Johan Sverdrup field of 1.8 to 2.9 billion boe and a first oil date of late 2019. The field spans over three licences PL501 (WI 40%), PL265 (WI 10%) and a small portion of the field extends into PL502.

During the year, the Phase 1 conceptual development plan was announced. The Phase 1 development will contain a field centre, consisting of one processing platform, one riser platform, one wellhead platform with drilling facilities and one living quarter platform. The platforms will be installed on steel jackets in 120 metres of water and will be bridge-linked. The FEED work for Phase 1 was completed by Aker Solutions in late 2014 and the plan of development for Phase 1 is expected to be submitted in February 2015 as per schedule. In June 2014, the pre-unit working operator announced that a letter of intent had been signed with Kværner in Norway for delivery of two of the steel jackets for the phase 1 development. The steel jacket for the riser platform is scheduled for delivery in 2017 and the steel jacket for the drilling platform is scheduled for delivery in 2018. A contract for the riser platform jacket was awarded to Kværner in January 2015 and a second contract was awarded to Aker Solution during January 2015 for the engineering and procurement management for the riser and processing platform topsides for phase one, in addition to hook-up work and gangways for the entire field.

The first phase development is scheduled to start production in late 2019 and is forecast to have a gross production capacity of between 315 and 380 Mboepd. It is anticipated that 35 production and injection wells will be drilled to support Phase 1 production, of which 14 wells will be drilled prior to first oil with a semi-submersible rig to facilitate Phase 1 plateau production.

The gross capital investment for Phase 1, which includes oil and gas export pipelines as well as a power supply from shore, is estimated to between NOK 100 and 120 billion, including contingencies and certain market allowances for potential future increases in market rates. The Phase 1 field centre will also have spare capacity to facilitate future phases of development and potential enhanced recovery.

The Johan Sverdrup oil and gas production will be transported to shore via dedicated oil and gas pipelines. A 274 km 36" oil pipeline will be installed and connected to the Mongstad oil terminal on the west coast of Norway. A 165 km 18" gas pipeline will be installed and connected to the Kårstø gas terminal for processing and onward transportation.

The Johan Sverdrup resources not developed as part of Phase 1 will be developed through subsequent development phases. The concept and costs of further development phases are currently being matured by all partners and will form the basis of later investment decisions.

Two appraisal wells have been completed on the Johan Sverdrup field during the year. Well 16/3-8S was successfully completed on PL501 on the Avaldsnes High between wells 16/2-6, 16/2-7 and 16/3-4 encountering 13 metres of oil filled reservoir of late Jurassic Draupne sandstones. The well achieved an excellent test flow rate and measured exceptionally high permeabilities. A sidetrack 16/3-8ST2 was also successfully completed. In April 2014, the appraisal well 16/2-19 and sidetrack well 16/2-19A on PL265 were completed. The results from the wells were below expectations with thinner than expected reservoir towards the basement high.

In addition to the Johan Sverdrup appraisal wells, a further two appraisal wells have been completed during the year.

In July 2014, the appraisal well on the Gohta discovery in the Barents Sea was completed. The Gohta appraisal well 7120/1-4S on PL492 (WI 40%) encountered 10 metres of gas and condensate in Upper Permian limestone conglomerate with good reservoir properties overlying fractured limestone of limited reservoir quality. A test produced over 26 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (MMscfd) and 880 barrels of condensate per day.

The 16/4-8S appraisal well on PL359 (WI 50%) on the Luno II discovery on the Utsira High was completed in August 2014 and encountered a 30 metres gross oil column underlying a thin gas cap. The well flow tested oil successfully however the reservoir quality failed to meet pre-drill expectations. The revised gross contingent resource range for Luno II is estimated at 27 to 71 MMboe.

Lundin Petroleum is planning to drill three to four appraisal wells offshore Norway during 2015. Two of these appraisal wells are planned on the Alta discovery in PL609 (WI 40%) in the Barents Sea. One appraisal well is planned to be drilled on the southeastern part of the Edvard Grieg field on PL338 (WI 50%). A further appraisal well may be drilled on the Gohta discovery on PL492 (WI 40%) in 2015.

2014 exploration well programme

Lundin Petroleum has completed seven exploration wells in Norway during the year. On the Utsira High the Torvastad side-track well 16/2-20A, targeting an Upper Jurassic reservoir sequence 770 metres west of the Torvastad exploration well 16/2-20, was completed in February 2014. The sidetrack encountered oil but found poorer than expected reservoir quality and was declared noncommercial.

In the Barents Sea, the Langlitinden well 7222/11-2 drilled on the southeast of the Loppa High was completed in February 2014. The well encountered oil in middle Triassic sandstone reservoir but the reservoir quality was poorer than expected and the well was consequently announced as noncommercial.

In October 2014, the Alta well 7220/11-1 in the Barents Sea was announced as an oil and gas discovery. The well was drilled on-trend with the Gohta discovery made in 2013 and encountered a 57 metre gross hydrocarbon column in carbonate rocks of good reservoir quality. The well flow tested approximately 3,300 barrels of oil per day and 1.7 million cubic feet of gas per day and the discovery is estimated to contain resources of between 125 to 400 MMboe.

The Vollgrav South prospect drilled close to the Statfjord field with well 33/12-10S failed to encounter any hydrocarbons and was announced as a dry hole in October 2014.

In December 2014, the Storm well 33/2-1 drilled 65 km northwest of the Snorre field was announced as having encountered hydrocarbons in Cretaceous and Jurassic reservoir sequences but in noncommercial quantities.

Also in December 2014, the Lindarormen well 6405/12-1 drilled 80 km northeast of the Ormen Lange field was announced as a dry hole with no hydrocarbons encountered.

In December 2014, the Kopervik well 25/10-12S was completed as a dry hole. The well was drilled 20 km northwest of the Johan Sverdrup field and encountered good quality Jurassic reservoir but failed to encounter any hydrocarbons.

During 2015, Lundin Petroleum is planning to drill seven operated exploration wells targeting net unrisked prospective resources of 475 MMboe.

Lundin Petroleum, together with 32 other companies, has signed a contract during the year with Western Geco and PGS for an extended 3D seismic acquisition in the Norwegian east Barents Sea ahead of the 23rd licensing round. The 3D acquisition was completed in the third quarter of 2014 and the processing is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2015. In January 2015 the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy announced that 57 blocks, or part blocks, will be offered for licensing in the 23rd Licensing round with the majority of blocks being located in the Barents Sea. The deadline for submitting licence applications is in December 2015 with awards expected to be announced during the first half of 2016.

Licence awards, transactions and relinquishments

During the year, Lundin Petroleum was awarded nine licences through the APA 2013 licensing round including four new licences in the Barents Sea. In addition, Lundin Petroleum acquired from Premier Oil a 30 percent interest in PL359 where Lundin Petroleum already held a 40 percent interest and is operator. Lundin Petroleum subsequently entered into two separate transactions whereby a five percent interest in PL359 was sold to OMV Norge and a 15 percent interest in PL359 was sold to Wintershall Norge. Following these transactions, Lundin Petroleum has a 50 percent interest in PL359 and these transactions have also ensured full partner alignment between PL359 and PL338 where the Edvard Grieg field is located. In January 2014, Lundin Petroleum farmed out ten percent in PL546 (WI 50% after farm-out) to Petrolia Norway. In August 2014, Lundin Petroleum farmed-into PL674 acquiring a 35 percent working interest and into PL674BS acquiring a 15 percent working interest. During the year, PL409, PL570, PL495 and PL453S were relinquished. PL338 will be split into two licences where the original PL338 licence contains the Edvard Grieg field and the carved-out licence, PL338C contains the remaining exploration potential of the original licence including the Gemini and the Rolvsnes prospects. Lundin Petroleum will hold an 80 percent interest PL338C with OMV Norge holding the remaining 20 percent interest.

In January 2015, the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy announced the licence awards in the 2014 APA licensing round. Lundin Petroleum was awarded eight licences of which six were awarded to Lundin Petroleum as operator.

France

Production levels from France are substantially in line with forecast and incremental production from the Grandville redevelopment in the Paris Basin has been offsetting the natural decline from the other fields. Development drilling on the Vert la Gravelle re-development project commenced in the fourth quarter of 2014 but following the current weak oil price environment the drilling of the remaining five development wells will be deferred.

The Hoplites exploration well on the Est Champagne concession (WI 100%) was completed during the fourth quarter with no hydrocarbons encountered.

The Netherlands

Production from the Netherlands has been in line with the forecast during the year.

The K5-A5 (Licence Interest 2.03%) development well was successfully drilled during the year and is expected to be put on production by mid-2015. The drilling of the K5-A6 (Licence Interest 2.03%) development well completed in early January 2015. The encountered reservoir was pressure depleted and the well will be plugged and abandoned. The E17-A5 (WI 1.20%) development well is currently drilling ahead. Lundin Petroleum is expecting to participate in two further development wells and two exploration wells during 2015.

An exploration well on E17a/b (WI 1.20%) was drilled during the year and has encountered gas. Development options are currently being assessed.

The Hempens-1 exploration well on the Leeuwarden licence (WI 7.2325%) was completed during the year as a dry hole. The LW102ST development well also drilled on the Leeuwarden licence in the first quarter of 2014 was declared unsuccessful following testing.

The drilling of the Lambertschaag-2 exploration well on the Slootdorp licence (WI 7.2325%) was completed during the year and whilst gas was found in a shallower interval, the well is noncommercial.

The Langezwaag-2 exploration well on the Gorredijk licence (WI 7.75%) has been completed and gas was found in two intervals. The well is expected to commence production in the first quarter of 2015.

SOUTH EAST ASIA

Malaysia

Offshore, Peninsular Malaysia

The Bertam field development on PM307 (WI 75%) is progressing according to schedule. The steel jacket was successfully completed and installed offshore Peninsular Malaysia during the year. The construction of the topside of the wellhead platform at the TH Heavy Engineering yard was successfully installed on the steel jacket during October 2014. The Bertam FPSO (formerly the Ikdam FPSO) upgrade and life extension work is now mechanically complete at the Keppel shipyard in Singapore and the Bertam FPSO is scheduled to be moored and hooked-up to the wellhead platform late in the first quarter 2015. During the third quarter of 2014, the jack-up drilling rig West Prospero commenced drilling the Bertam development wells and drilling is expected to continue until late 2015. The subsurface development concept consists of 13 horizontal wells completed with electrical submersible pumps.

The Bertam field is estimated to contain gross reserves of 18 MMboe and is being developed through an un-manned wellhead platform adjacent to the spread-moored Bertam FPSO with a total estimated development cost of MUSD 400, excluding any FPSO related costs. The Bertam field is expected to commence first oil in the second quarter of 2015 with a gross plateau rate of 15.0 Mbopd.

The Tembakau-2 appraisal well on PM307 (WI 75%) has been successfully completed with production test results from the I10 and I20 sands yielding 15.9 and 15.8 MMscfd respectively. Conceptual development studies have been completed and any development decision will likely be dependent on achievable gas prices.

Two exploration wells are planned to be drilled within Block PM307 during the fourth quarter of 2015 following the completion of the Bertam development drilling campaign. The exploration wells are targeting the Mengkuang-1 oil prospect, estimated to contain gross unrisked prospective resources of 21 MMboe and the Rengas oil prospect which is targeting gross unrisked prospective resources 22 MMboe.

During the third quarter of 2014, Lundin Petroleum entered into a farm-in agreement with Petronas Carigali whereby Lundin Petroleum has acquired a 50 percent working interest and operatorship in PM328. The PM328 Block is located northeast of PM307 and spans 5,600 km2. The initial PSC term covers three years with a work programme commitment of acquiring 600 km2 of 3D seismic within the first 18 months.

The previously announced farm-out agreement with HiRex Petroleum in relation to PM308B will not complete and the agreement has been terminated.

East Malaysia, offshore Sabah

Lundin Petroleum continues to evaluate the potential for commercialisation of the Berangan, Tarap, Cempulut and Titik Terang gas discoveries in Block SB303 (WI 75%), most likely through a cluster development. These four discoveries are estimated to contain gross best estimate contingent resources of 347 bcf.

The Kitabu prospect, on SB307/SB308 (WI 42.5%), was drilled during the fourth quarter 2014 however the well failed to encounter any hydrocarbons.

Singa 25.9% 1.4 1.0 1.6 1.5

The production from the Singa field was below forecast during the year, primarily due to certain facility issues and a shut-in to re-route the gas pipeline. In early 2014, a revised gas sales agreement, with an effective date of 2 January 2014, was put in place for the Singa field resulting in an increased gas sales price of USD 7.97 per million British Thermal Units (MMbtu) compared to the previous price of USD 5.20 per MMbtu. The agreement provides for an annual price escalation.

Exploration

Baronang/Cakalang

Exploration drilling on the Balqis and Boni prospects in the Baronang Block (WI 85%) in the Natuna Sea, Indonesia, was completed during the year. Both wells encountered good quality reservoirs at the projected Oligocene level but neither well encountered any hydrocarbons and were declared as dry holes. Lundin Petroleum is in the process of relinquishing both the Baronang and the Cakalang Blocks.

Gurita

In October 2014, Lundin Petroleum announced that the exploration well on the Gobi prospect in the Gurita Block (WI 90%) was unsuccessful and has been plugged and abandoned as a dry hole.

South Sokang

A 3D seismic acquisition programme of 1,000 km² has been completed on the South Sokang Block (WI 60%) in 2013. The seismic processing and interpretation is substantially complete with both oil and gas prospectivity identified at Miocene and Oligocene levels.

Cendrawasih VII

Lundin Petroleum is undertaking geological and technical studies on the Cendrawasih VII Block (WI 100%), offshore eastern Indonesia.

Cendrawasih VIII

In November 2014, Lundin Petroleum entered into a joint study agreement for 100 percent of the exploration Block Cendrawasih VIII which is contiguous to Cendrawasih VII Block.

Lagansky Block

In the Lagansky Block (WI 70%) in the northern Caspian a major oil discovery, Morskaya, was made in 2008 and is estimated to contain gross best estimate contingent resources of 157 MMboe. In October 2013, Lundin Petroleum announced a Heads of Agreement with Rosneft whereby Rosneft will acquire a 51 percent shareholding in LLC PetroResurs which owns a 100 percent interest in the Lagansky Block. The completion of the deal with Rosneft is uncertain due to a number of factors.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILTIY

During the year, Lundin Petroleum had seven low severity Lost Time Incidents (LTI) among its contractors, which resulted in a LTI frequency rate of 0.25 per 200,000 hours. The LTI frequency rate in 2014 was the lowest rate recorded to date. The total recordable incident rate was 0.42. An oil spill occurred in France; removal of the polluted soil started immediately and the circumstances surrounding the spill are being investigated. There will be no lasting impact on the environment.

In September 2014, Lundin Petroleum signed the UN Global Compact's Call to Action, an appeal by companies to governments urging them to enhance measures to combat corruption. The Board of Directors approved of the decision to take this additional step in demonstrating Lundin Petroleum's commitment to anti-corruption.

In terms of disclosure regarding climate change, the Carbon Disclosure Project, CDP Nordic Report attributed a score of 90B to Lundin Petroleum. This is the highest score obtained among Nordic oil and gas companies. The highest score attributed to an energy company was 92A, while the average disclosure scores for the Nordic region is 80C and for Sweden 82B.

Sales of oil and gas are recognised when the risk of ownership is transferred to the purchaser. Sales quantities in a period can differ from production quantities as a result of permanent and timing differences. Permanent differences arise as a result of paying royalties in kind as well as the effects from production sharing agreements. Timing differences can arise due to under/over lift of entitlement, inventory, storage and pipeline balances effects.

The change in under/over lift position amounted to a net credit of MUSD 23.4 (charge of MUSD 45.2) in the year. There was an underlift of entitlement movement on the Alvheim and Volund fields during the year due to the timing of the cargo liftings compared to production.

Other revenue amounted to MUSD 16.8 (MUSD 16.8) for the year and included the quality differential compensation received from the Vilje field owners to the Alvheim and Volund field owners, tariff income from France and the Netherlands and income for maintaining strategic inventory levels in France.

Production costs

Production costs including inventory movements for the year amounted to MUSD 66.5 (MUSD 139.6) and are detailed in the table below.

Note: USD per boe is calculated by dividing the cost by total production volume for the period (excluding Russia).

The total cost of operations for the year was MUSD 94.4 (MUSD 103.0) and included costs of MUSD 10.9 associated with well intervention work on two wells on the Alvheim field which was completed in the first quarter of 2014. There was well intervention work on the Alvheim and Volund fields, as well as radial drilling in the Paris Basin in the comparative period. The total cost of operations excluding operational projects amounted to MUSD 72.3 (MUSD 77.3) with most of the decrease versus the comparative period being attributable to the Gaupe field in Norway which was shut-in for most of the second half of 2014.

The cost of operations per barrel amounted to USD 10.86 (USD 9.28) for the year including the Alvheim well intervention work and other operational projects. The increase in the cost of operations per barrel compared to the same period last year is primarily due to the lower production volumes in the year. Excluding operational projects, the cost of operations amounted to USD 8.32 (USD 6.96) per barrel. The cost of operations per barrel is in line with the guidance provided at the end of the third quarter of 2014.

Other costs amounted to a credit of MUSD 49.1 (charge of MUSD 13.6) and substantially related to an operating cost share arrangement on the Brynhild field whereby the amount of operating cost varies with the oil price until mid-2017. This arrangement is being marked-to-market against the oil price curve and due to the low oil price at the end of 2014, it resulted in the provision booked at the end of the third quarter being reversed and an asset being recognised. The asset will be charged to the income statement over the term of the arrangement.

Depletion and decommissioning costs

Depletion costs amounted to MUSD 131.6 (MUSD 156.0) and are detailed in Note 3. Norway's contribution to the total depletion cost for the year was 67 percent (75 percent) at an average rate of USD 13.75 (USD 13.40) per barrel. The lower depletion cost for the year compared to the same period last year is in line with the lower production volumes.

Decommissioning costs amounted to MUSD – (MUSD 13.3). The non-cash decommissioning costs charged to the income statement in the comparative period related to an increase in the site restoration estimate of the Gaupe field in Norway.

Exploration costs

Exploration costs expensed in the income statement for the year amounted to MUSD 386.4 (MUSD 287.8) and are detailed in Note 3. Exploration and appraisal costs are capitalised as they are incurred. When exploration drilling is unsuccessful, the capitalised costs are expensed. All capitalised exploration costs are reviewed on a regular basis and are expensed where their recoverability is considered highly uncertain.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, exploration costs relating to Norway of MUSD 198.0 were expensed and mainly related to four unsuccessful wells that were drilled on PL631 (Vollgrav), PL555 (Storm), PL584 (Lindarormen) and PL625 (Kopervik). In addition, costs associated with the unsuccessful Kitabu-1 well on SB307/SB308, offshore Malaysia and the Gobi-1 well on the Gurita Block, offshore Indonesia, were expensed for an amount of MUSD 54.0.

In addition, exploration costs relating to the drilling of the wells on PL501 (Torvastad) and PL659 (Langlitinden) in Norway and the Balqis and Boni wells in Indonesia were expensed in the first quarter of 2014.

Impairment costs

Impairment costs expensed in the income statement for the year amounted to MUSD 400.7 (MUSD 123.4). The carrying value of oil and gas properties are continually assessed to ensure recoverability and due to the significantly lower oil price at the end of 2014, a non-cash pre-tax MUSD 400.7 impairment cost against the Brynhild field, Norway, was recognised. A deferred tax credit on the impairment of MUSD 309.7 was recognised in the deferred tax line of the income statement. The amount in the comparative period related to discoveries in Malaysia and Norway which were deemed uncommercial.

General, administrative and depreciation expenses

The general, administrative and depreciation expenses for the year amounted to MUSD 52.2 (MUSD 41.2) which included a charge of MUSD 8.9 (MUSD 4.7) in relation to the Group's long-term incentive plans (LTIP), see also Remuneration section below. Fixed asset depreciation charges for the year amounted to MUSD 4.8 (MUSD 4.4).

Finance income

Finance income for the year amounted to MUSD 1.8 (MUSD 3.4) and is detailed in Note 4.

Finance costs

Finance costs for the year amounted to MUSD 421.8 (MUSD 85.9) and are detailed in Note 5.

Interest expenses for the year amounted to MUSD 21.1 (MUSD 5.1) and represented the proportion of interest charged to the income statement. An additional amount of interest of MUSD 36.6 (MUSD 18.2) primarily associated with the funding of the Norwegian development projects was capitalised in the year.

Net foreign exchange losses for the year amounted to MUSD 356.3 (MUSD 46.5) and MUSD 289.5 (MUSD13.3) for the fourth quarter of 2014. Foreign exchange movements occur on the settlement of transactions denominated in foreign currencies and the revaluation of working capital and loan balances to the prevailing exchange rate at the balance sheet date where those monetary assets and liabilities are held in currencies other than the functional currencies of the Group's reporting entities. The US Dollar strengthened against the Euro during the fourth quarter of 2014 resulting in a foreign currency exchange loss on the US Dollar denominated external loan which is borrowed by a subsidiary using a functional currency of the Euro. In addition, the Norwegian Krone significantly weakened in the fourth quarter of 2014, generating a foreign currency exchange loss on an intercompany loan balance denominated in Norwegian Krone. A strengthening US Dollar currency has a positive overall value effect on the business as it increases the purchasing power of the US Dollar to purchase the currencies in which the Group incurs operational expenditure. Lundin Petroleum has hedged certain foreign currency operational expenditure amounts against the US Dollar as detailed in the Derivative financial instruments section below. During the year, the net realised exchange loss on settled foreign exchange hedges amounted to MUSD 22.8 (MUSD 5.5 gain). In addition, there were net foreign exchange losses recognised within other comprehensive income on foreign entities translated to the presentation currency of the Group of MUSD 196.3 (MUSD 31.7). In other comprehensive income there were also losses on the unsettled part of the cash flow hedges of MUSD 148.7 (MUSD 8.1) which mainly related to the unsettled foreign currency hedges.

The amortisation of the deferred financing fees amounted to MUSD 12.6 (MUSD 8.7) for the year and related to the expensing of the fees incurred in establishing the original USD 2.5 billion financing facility, and the subsequent increase to USD 4.0 billion in February 2014, over the period of usage of the facility.

Loan facility commitment fees for the year amounted to MUSD 21.4 (MUSD 17.1) with the increase over the comparative period being attributable to the increased facility size.

Share of result of joint ventures accounted for using the equity method

Share of result of joint ventures accounted for using the equity method for the year amounted to a loss of MUSD 12.9 (MUSD 0.2) and included a MUSD 12.6 (MUSD –) non-cash expense relating to the carrying value of the onshore Russian assets following the agreement to sell the assets. The onshore Russian assets were sold in July 2014.

Tax

The overall tax credit for the year amounted to MUSD 253.2 (charge of MUSD 215.1).

The current tax credit for the year amounted to MUSD 419.7 (charge of MUSD 24.7) of which MUSD 431.7 (MUSD 2.9) related to Norway due to the significant level of development and exploration and appraisal expenditure in Norway in the year and the tax depreciation on development expenditure incurred in prior years. The current tax credit in Norway for the year is partly offset by the current tax charge relating to operations in France and the Netherlands.

The deferred tax charge for the year amounted to MUSD 166.5 (MUSD 190.4) which predominantly related to Norway. The deferred tax charge arises primarily where there is a difference in depletion for tax and accounting purposes. During the fourth quarter of 2014, a deferred tax credit was recognised in the income statement on the impairment of Brynhild and on the Norwegian expensed exploration costs which amounted to MUSD 309.7 and MUSD 154.4 respectively.

The Group operates in various countries and fiscal regimes where corporate income tax rates are different from the regulations in Sweden. Corporate income tax rates for the Group vary between 20 percent and 78 percent. The effective tax rate calculated from the face of the income statement is 37 percent and does not reflect the effective rate of tax paid within each country of operation. The effective tax rate is also affected by items which do not receive a full tax credit such as the expensed exploration costs in Indonesia, net foreign exchange losses and the expense relating to the sale of the onshore Russian assets.

Non-controlling interest

The net result attributable to non-controlling interest for the year amounted to MUSD -4.7 (MUSD -4.7) and related mainly to the non-controlling interest's share in a Russian subsidiary which is fully consolidated.

BALANCE SHEET

Non-current assets

Oil and gas properties amounted to MUSD 4,182.6 (MUSD 3,820.8) and are detailed in Note 7.

LIQUIDITY

On 25 June 2012, Lundin Petroleum entered into a seven year senior secured revolving borrowing base facility of USD 2.5 billion with a group of 25 banks to provide funding for Lundin Petroleum's ongoing exploration expenditure and development costs. On 6 February 2014, Lundin Petroleum increased the facility to USD 4.0 billion on similar terms. The financing facility is a revolving borrowing base facility secured against certain cash flows generated by the Group. The amount available under the facility is recalculated every six months based upon the calculated cash flow generated by certain producing fields and fields under development at an oil price and economic assumptions agreed with the banking syndicate providing the facility. The facility is secured by a pledge over the shares of certain Group companies and a charge over some of the bank accounts of the pledged companies. The pledged amount at 31 December 2014 is MUSD 1,126.8 (MUSD 1,870.3) equivalent and represents the accounting value of net assets of the Group companies whose shares are pledged as described in the Parent Company section above.

SHARE DATA

Lundin Petroleum AB's issued share capital amounted to SEK 3,179,106 represented by 311,070,330 shares with a quota value of SEK 0.01 each.

During the year Lundin Petroleum purchased a further 500,000 of its own shares at an average price of SEK 124.07. Following a 2014 AGM resolution, the Company reduced its share capital with an amount of SEK 68,402.50 through the cancellation of 6,840,250 shares held in treasury. The reduction of the share capital was followed by a bonus issue of the same amount and in consequence the cancellation of shares did not impact the Company's share capital. This resulted in a minor change in the quota value 0f each share as no new shares were issued. At 31 December 2014 the Company holds 2,000,000 of its own shares.

The Board of directors will propose to the AGM that no dividend will be paid to the shareholders for the financial year 2014.

Phantom Option Plan

The plan for Executive Management includes 5,500,928 phantom options with an exercise price of SEK 52.91. The phantom options vested in May 2014 being the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. Each option was valued at SEK 81.45 based on the average share price for the fifth year of the plan amounting to SEK 134.36.

Performance Based Incentive Plan

The AGM 2014 has resolved a new long-term performance based incentive plan in respect of Group Management and a number of key employees. The plan is effective from 1st of July 2014 and the 2014 awards under the plan have been accounted for in the year. The total number of awards made in respect of 2014 was 608,103 and the related cost is recognised on a straight line basis over the three year performance period subject to certain performance conditions being met by Lundin Petroleum.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (SFS 1995:1554.

As from 1 January 2014, Lundin Petroleum has adopted IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and the comparatives for the prior year have been restated. For further information, please refer to the 2013 Annual Report, page 91. The accounting policies adopted are in all other aspects consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.

The financial reporting of the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Sweden, applying RFR 2 Reporting for legal entities, issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board and the Annual Accounts Act (SFS 1995:1554).

Under Swedish company regulations it is not allowed to report the Parent Company results in any other currency than SEK or Euro and consequently the Parent Company's financial information is reported in SEK and not the Group's reporting currency of USD.

RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The objective of Business Risk Management is to identify, understand and manage threats and opportunities within the business on a continual basis. This objective is achieved by creating a mandate and commitment to risk management at all levels of the business. This approach actively addresses risk as an integral and continual part of decision making within the Group and is designed to ensure that all risks are identified, fully acknowledged, understood and communicated well in advance. The ability to manage and or mitigate these risks represents a key component in ensuring that the business aim of the Company is achieved. Nevertheless, oil and gas exploration, development and production involve high operational and financial risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to fully eliminate or which are beyond the Company's control.

A detailed analysis of Lundin Petroleum's strategic, operational, financial and external risks and mitigation of those risks through risk management is described in Lundin Petroleum's 2013 Annual Report.

Note 13. Financial instruments MUSD

For financial instruments measured at fair value in the balance sheet, the following fair value measurement hierarchy is used:

– Level 1: based on quoted prices in active markets;

– Level 2: based on inputs other than quoted prices as within level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable;

– Level 3: based on inputs which are not based on observable market data.

Based on this hierarchy, financial instruments measured at fair value can be detailed as follows:

There were no transfers between the levels during the year. Other shares and participations and bonds are specified in Note 8 Financial assets.

Derivative instruments are valued using marked-to-market valuations provided by the counterparties to the hedge at the balance sheet date. The hedge counterparties are all banks which are party to the loan facility agreement.

Fair value of the following financial assets and liabilities is estimated to equal the carrying value.

  • Trade receivables
  • Joint venture debtors
  • Cash and cash equivalents
  • Trade payables
  • Joint venture creditors
  • Bank loans
  • Other non-current liabilities

The USD 2.5 billion financing facility, entered into on 25 June 2012 is a revolving borrowing base facility secured against certain cash flows generated by the Group. On 6 February 2014, Lundin Petroleum increased the facility to USD 4.0 billion on similar terms. The amount available under the facility is recalculated every six months based upon the calculated cash flow generated by certain producing fields and fields under development at an oil price and economic assumptions agreed with the banking syndicate providing the facility. The maturity date of the new bank facility is June 2019 and there is a loan reduction schedule which commences in 2016 and reduces to zero by the final maturity date. In addition, the amount available to borrow under the facility is based upon a net present value calculation of the assets' future cash flows. Based on the reduction schedule and the current availability calculation, part of the current outstanding bank loan balance falls due within five years, during 2017.

1 During the year the Company reduced its share capital with an amount of SEK 68,402.50 through the cancellation of 6,840,250 shares held in treasury. The reduction of the share capital was followed by a bonus issue of the same amount. The amounts were recognised against other reserves. In consequence the cancellation of shares did not impact the Company's share capital.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made and information contained herein constitute "forward-looking information" (within the meaning of applicable securities legislation). Such statements and information (together, "forward-looking statements") relate to future events, including the Company's future performance, business prospects or opportunities. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to estimates of reserves and/or resources, future production levels, future capital expenditures and their allocation to exploration and development activities, future drilling and other exploration and development activities. Ultimate recovery of reserves or resources are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management.

All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Statements concerning proven and probable reserves and resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements and reflect conclusions that are based on certain assumptions that the reserves and resources can be economically exploited. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "predict", "potential", "targeting", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe" and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that these expectations and assumptions will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements should not be relied upon. These statements speak only as on the date of the information and the Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable laws. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties relating to, among other things, operational risks (including exploration and development risks), productions costs, availability of drilling equipment, reliance on key personnel, reserve estimates, health, safety and environmental issues, legal risks and regulatory changes, competition, geopolitical risk, and financial risks. These risks and uncertainties are described in more detail under the heading "Risks and Risk Management" and elsewhere in the Company's annual report. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Reserves and Resources

Unless otherwise stated, Lundin Petroleum's reserve and resource estimates are as at 31 December 2014, and have been prepared and audited in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101") and the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook ("COGE Handbook"). Unless otherwise stated, all reserves estimates contained herein are the aggregate of "Proved Reserves" and "Probable Reserves", together also known as "2P Reserves". For further information on reserve and resource classifications, see "Reserves, Resources and Production" in the Company's annual report.

Contingent Resources

Contingent Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters or a lack of markets. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable for the Company to produce any portion of the Contingent Resources. Unless otherwise stated, all contingent resource estimates contained herein are the best estimate ("2C") contingent resources.

Prospective Resources

Prospective Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective Resources have both a chance of discovery and a chance of development. There is no certainty that any portion of the Prospective Resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the Prospective Resources. Unless otherwise stated, all Prospective Resource estimates contained herein are reflecting a P50 Prospective Resource estimate. Risked Prospective Resources reported herein are partially risked. They have been risked for chance of discovery, but have not been risked for chance of development.

BOEs

BOEs 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 a value equivalency at the wellhead.
