Lundin Petroleum is a Swedish independent oil and gas exploration and production company with a well balanced portfolio of world-class assets primarily located in Europe and South East Asia. The Company is listed at the NASDAQ OMX, Stockholm (ticker "LUPE") and at the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) (Ticker "LUP"). Lundin Petroleum has proven and probable reserves of 187 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe).
The major news in the third quarter of 2011 was clearly the announcement of increased contingent resources in the Avaldsnes discovery, offshore Norway. As we had previously indicated the Avaldsnes structure extends to the west into the Statoil operated PL265 and this was confirmed with the Aldous Major South discovery. Avaldsnes and Aldous Major South are essentially one connected giant oil field. Our Avaldsnes appraisal drilling programme in PL501, where we are operator, coupled with Statoil's discovery well and subsequent appraisal well in PL265 has confirmed that the thickness and quality of the Jurassic reservoir is better than previously assumed. As a result, Lundin Petroleum has increased the contingent resource range for the Avaldsnes discovery in PL501 to between 800 million and 1.8 billion barrels of gross recoverable oil. Statoil has announced a contingent resource range of 900 million to 1.5 billion barrels of gross recoverable oil for the Aldous Major South discovery. As a result, the Avaldsnes/Aldous Major South discovery is estimated to contain gross contingent resources of between 1.7 and 3.3 billion barrels of recoverable oil. This makes the discovery one of the five largest discoveries ever made on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, the largest discovery since the mid 1980s and the largest exploration find in the world this year. Furthermore the discovery is located in 115 metres of water depth, in a reservoir of less than 2,000 metres, close to existing infrastructure with spare capacity and with oil that is of excellent quality. 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 the area.
This news is transformational for Lundin Petroleum. The priority right now is to fully appraise the discovery to better define the resource range and to provide information for development planning. The resource range is still wide but my experience is that big fields usually get bigger. The discovery is material for everyone and we are working closely with Statoil and our partners to move the project forward. The discovery is material for everyone and as such everyone is aligned in moving forward as quickly as possible. 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 be one of the most valuable discoveries ever made in the North Sea.
Lundin Petroleum produced a net result for the first nine months of 2011 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. Our current production and development assets, excluding the recent Avaldsnes discovery, will comfortably support debt capacity of well above USD 2 billion. We expect to continue to generate strong operating cash flow from our producing assets which will be the primary source of funding for our future development and exploration expenditures. We will however refinance our existing reserve based lending facility to provide the Company with additional liquidity and flexibility.
During the first nine months of 2011 production averaged 32,800 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) which is at the high end of our forecast. The third quarter production of 33,900 boepd was particularly strong as a result of the continued out performance of the Volund field, offshore Norway. We maintain our previous production guidance of 31,000 - 34,000 boepd for 2011. Production in 2012 is forecast to increase with the impact of new production from the Gaupe field, offshore Norway.
We maintain our medium term five year production forecast of over 60,000 boepd, driven principally by our various Norwegian development projects. This five year forecast excludes Avaldsnes/Aldous Major South which is expected to produce comfortably at multi hundreds of thousands of barrels per day, and will have a huge positive impact on our future production.
If we briefly look at the progress on our various development projects:
The front end engineering and design studies for the Luno/Tellus field development have been completed. The development concept provides for the option to jointly develop the nearby Draupne field. We have been advised by the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy that the Luno and Draupne partners should progress a joint development solution to achieve cost savings. We agree with the conclusions of the Ministry and believe that our joint development concept will deliver such cost savings benefits. We are in discussions with the Draupne partners in relation to our development solution. We still plan to submit the plan of development for Luno before year end 2011 to ensure we can continue to achieve our forecast 2015 first oil date.
Our view has always been, that despite being seen as a mature area, the Norwegian Continental Shelf represented an area with excellent exploration potential. The higher historical tax environment compared to the UK coupled with the fact that the independent sector was not active in Norway until 10 years ago meant that exploration drilling activity was much lower in Norway than in the UK. The geological setting is essentially the same and therefore the lower drilling activity in Norway creates an opportunity for aggressive exploration driven companies such as Lundin Petroleum. Our exploration success with the discovery of Luno, Apollo and now Avaldsnes clearly show that this strategy has worked.
Nevertheless we believe there is more to be found. Despite the priority in respect of rig capacity to the appraisal of Avaldsnes, we will have an aggressive exploration programme in Norway in 2012 with eight new exploration wells. We will be drilling three new exploration wells in the Southern Utsira High where we feel we have a very good understanding of the subsurface. The exploration drilling will continue in 2013. We will be drilling one well in the Møte Basin in the Northern North Sea close to where there have been interesting recent discoveries in the UK. In the Barents Sea, where we are one of the largest acreage owners, there will be two further exploration wells. We have built a licence portfolio of close to 50 licences in Norway over the last 10 years and we continue to increase our activity by obtaining new licences in the annual licensing rounds. We plan in forthcoming years to continue to drill out the numerous prospects we have identified in this portfolio.
Our exploration drilling campaign in Malaysia is proceeding well. The Tarap gas discovery announced in the second quarter has been followed up with a further gas discovery at Cempulut. The two discoveries coupled with a third existing discovery in our licence means we have contingent resources of over 250 billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas in SB303 offshore East Malaysia. This is most likely sufficient to consider a cluster development in an area which is facing an increasing gas deficit. Our Malaysian drilling campaign is ongoing with two further wells this year and five planned wells next year.
During the third quarter of this year Lundin Petroleum celebrated its 10th birthday. After selling Lundin Oil to Talisman Energy and creating significant shareholder value, we started Lundin Petroleum in 2001 with about USD 50 million of cash equity. 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.
Best Regards
C. Ashley Heppenstall President and CEO
The net production in Norway to Lundin Petroleum for the nine month period ended 30 September 2011 (reporting period) was 22,700 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd).
The net production for the reporting period from the Alvheim field (Lundin Petroleum working interest (WI) 15%), offshore Norway, was 10,800 boepd. The Alvheim field has been on production since June 2008 and continues to perform above expectations. The excellent reservoir performance has resulted in increased gross ultimate recoverable reserves during 2010 to 276 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) representing a 65 percent increase in ultimate recovery from when the Alvheim plan of development was completed in 2005. Phase 2 of Alvheim development drilling commenced in 2010 and is ongoing. Two development wells began production in October 2011. A third well is completed and will begin production before the end of 2011. The forecast cost of operations for the Alvheim field in 2011 is approximately USD 5.00 per barrel.
The net production from the Volund field (WI 35%) amounted to 11,900 boepd for the reporting period and significantly exceeded forecast. First production from the Volund field commenced in April 2010 and production increased during the year to the plateau production as development drilling was successfully completed. Volund field production during the reporting period was above the 8,700 boepd net Volund field firm capacity on the Alvheim FPSO as it took advantage of additional spare capacity. An additional Volund development well will be drilled and completed in 2012.
In October 2009, a new oil discovery on the Bøyla prospect in PL340 (WI 15%) was announced. Bøyla contains gross recoverable contingent resources of 20 MMboe and will be developed as a subsea tieback to the Alvheim FPSO. A plan of development will be submitted for the Bøyla field in the first half of 2012 with first oil expected in 2014. During the first quarter of 2011, the Caterpillar exploration well in PL340BS was completed as an additional new oil discovery. Caterpillar, located close to Bøyla, will now most likely be developed through the Bøyla subsea development facilities.
The Luno field located in PL338 (WI 50%) was discovered in 2007 and has subsequently been appraised by two further wells. The results of these appraisal wells have been incorporated into the reservoir model being used for development planning and has resulted in an upgrade of gross proven and probable (2P) reserves from 95 MMboe to 148 MMboe for the Luno field. The reserves have been audited by third party reserves auditors Gaffney Cline & Associates. Front end engineering for the Luno development is complete. A development plan which incorporates the provision for a joint development of the nearby Draupne field will be completed and submitted for approval before the end of 2011. Further exploration drilling in PL338 on the Jorvik prospect close to the Luno discovery will take place in 2012.
In April 2011, the Tellus exploration well in PL338 was completed as an oil discovery. The Tellus discovery is a northern extension of the Luno field and is estimated to contain gross contingent resources of between 11 and 55 MMboe. Two reservoir tests were completed in the Tellus well, the first of which, in the fractured basement, was the first successful full scale basement test on the Norwegian Continental shelf. The potential commercial production from the fractured basement has positive implications to add resources from this interval in the Luno South discovery and in the surrounding area. In May 2011, the Tellus exploration well was successfully sidetracked to appraise the discovery and as a result the Tellus development will now be included as part of the Luno development programme.
An exploration well in PL501 (WI 40%) targeting the Avaldsnes prospect was successfully completed in the third quarter of 2010 as an oil discovery. After the discovery well it was estimated that the Avaldsnes discovery contained gross recoverable contingent resources of 100 to 400 MMboe within PL501 and that the fault controlled structure extended to the west into PL265 (WI 10%).
During 2011, two Avaldsnes appraisal wells 16/3-4 and 16/2-7, both of which were sidetracked, have been successfully completed. The appraisal wells confirmed the extension of the Avaldsnes discovery to the south-east and south. Both wells confirmed excellent quality Jurassic reservoir characteristics following comprehensive coring and logging programmes. The wells encountered oil bearing reservoir of thickness and quality better than the discovery well and the first appraisal well tested at an average production rate in excess of 5,500 boepd through a restricted choke. In August 2011, Statoil, the operator of PL265, announced the discovery of Aldous Major South with the well 16/2-8 encountering a gross oil column of 65 metres of excellent quality Jurassic sandstone reservoir. An appraisal of Aldous Major South was successfully completed in October 2011 with well 16/2-10. As a result of the appraisal drilling on Avaldsnes and Aldous Major South it is now confirmed that the two discoveries are one connected giant oil field. Following the recent appraisal drilling Lundin Petroleum has announced a range of gross recoverable contingent resources for the Avaldsnes discovery in PL501 of between 800 million and 1.8 billion barrels which have been audited by Gaffney Cline & Associates. Similarly, Statoil has announced a range of gross recoverable contingent resources in PL265 of between 900 million and 1.5 billion barrels of oil. The joint Avaldsnes/Aldous Major South discovery is therefore estimated to contain contingent resources of between 1.7 and 3.3 billion barrels of recoverable oil which is one of the largest ever discoveries on the Norwegian continental shelf and the largest since the mid 1980s. The discovery is located in 115 metres water depth, the reservoir is at a depth less than 2,000 metres and the field is located 35 kms from the Grane field pipeline infrastructure with significant spare capacity. The discovered oil is approximately 28 degree API and is of excellent quality.
During the third quarter of 2011 Statoil, as operator, also completed the drilling of the Aldous Major North prospect in PL265. The well encountered an oil column in the Upper Jurassic reservoir which was thinner and of lesser quality than anticipated. Further appraisal drilling will be required to determine the commerciality of Aldous Major North.
The priority in 2012 will be further appraisal of the Avaldsnes/Aldous Major South discovery with at least three appraisal wells in PL501 to define the recoverable resource and to assist with the development planning strategy. The Avaldsnes/Aldous Major South discovery will be unitized as one field and Lundin Petroleum as operator of PL501 and Statoil as operator of PL265 are jointly committed to moving forward the development as a top priority.
There will be further exploration drilling in 2012 in the Southern Utsira High area with the drilling of the Luno II prospect in PL359 (WI 40%), Jorvik prospect in PL338 (WI 50%) and Biotitt prospect in PL544 (WI 70%). Additional prospectivity has been identified in the area where further exploration drilling will continue in 2013.
The plan of development for the Gaupe field in PL292 (WI 40%) was approved in June 2010, and first production is expected in late 2011. The Gaupe field operated by BG Group has estimated gross proven plus probable reserves of approximately 31 MMboe and is estimated to produce at a plateau production rate net to Lundin Petroleum of 5,000 boepd.
A plan of development of the Brynhild field (formerly called Nemo) in PL148 (WI 50%) has been submitted to the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy for approval. The Brynhild field contains gross proven plus probable reserves of 22 MMboe and is expected to produce at a plateau production rate net to Lundin Petroleum of 6,000 boepd with first oil forecast in late 2013. The development involves the drilling of three wells tied back to the existing Shell operated Pierce field infrastructure in the UK sector of the North Sea.
In January 2011, Lundin Petroleum was awarded ten exploration licenses in the 2010 APA Licensing Round of which six licenses will be operated by Lundin Petroleum. In April 2011, Lundin Petroleum was awarded license PL609 as operator in the 21st Norwegian Licensing Round. PL609 (WI 40%) is located in the Barents Sea to the east of Statoil's large new Skrugard oil discovery which is estimated to contain between 150 and 250 MMboe. Lundin Petroleum now has interests in five exploration licenses in the Barents Sea.
In July 2011, the Skalle exploration well in PL438 (WI 25%) was completed as a gas discovery with estimated gross contingent resources of between 88 and 280 billion cubic feet (bcf). The Skalle discovery is located approximately 25 kms from the producing Snøvhit gas field. Additional prospectivity for further hydrocarbons exists in the Skalle substructure and in additional prospects in PL438.
In July 2011, Lundin Petroleum completed the drilling of well 25/10-11 on the Earb South prospect in PL505. The well encountered three separate hydrocarbon bearing Jurassic sandstones sequences with poor reservoir quality. The well was tested and flowed oil and gas to surface but the reservoir was tight. It is unlikely that the discovery can currently be commercialised despite the large in place hydrocarbon volumes.
In May 2011, Lundin Petroleum acquired a 30 percent interest in PL330 located in the northern Norwegian Sea.
The net production in the Paris Basin (WI 100%) averaged 2,400 boepd and in the Aquitaine Basin (WI 50%) averaged 700 boepd for the reporting period. The redevelopment of the Grandville field in the Paris Basin involving the drilling of eight new development wells and the installation of new production facilities has commenced. Grandville development drilling will continue into 2012.
The net gas production to Lundin Petroleum from the Netherlands averaged 2,000 boepd for the reporting period.
Interpretation of the 3D seismic acquired in 2010 on the Slyne Basin licence 04/06 (WI 50%) has been completed.
The net production to Lundin Petroleum from the Singa gas field (WI 25.9%) during the reporting period amounted to 1,000 boepd. Production from the Singa field commenced in 2010. Current gross production from the two Singa production wells is in excess of 30 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd) of sales gas.
A 474 km 2D seismic acquisition programme has been completed on the Rangkas block (WI 51%).
A 975 km² 3D seismic acquisition programme on the Baronang and Cakalang blocks (WI 100%) was completed in 2010. Exploration drilling will now commence in 2013. In addition a 1,500 km 2D seismic acquisition programme will be completed on Cakalang in 2011.
A new Production Sharing Contract for the South Sokang block was signed in December 2010 (WI 60%). A 2,400 km 2D seismic acquisition programme was completed in 2011.
A new Production Sharing Contract for the Gurita block was signed in March 2011 (WI 100%). A 400km² 3D seismic acquisition programme will be completed in 2012.
The 2009 3D seismic data programme identified numerous drilling targets for the 2011/2012 drilling campaign. Five exploration and appraisal wells will be drilled in 2011.
The Tarap exploration well drilled in SB303 (WI 75%), offshore Sabah, East Malaysia was completed in July 2011 as a gas discovery. The well encountered gas in each of the five independently sealed Miocene sands targeted finding gross vertical pay of approximately 150 metres. The gross contingent resources of the Tarap discovery are 171bcf. The Cempulut exploration well also in SB303 was also completed as a gas discovery. The well encountered a Miocene reef with 50 metres of gross vertical pay. There is a third discovery named Titik Terang in the SB303 contract area. The three discoveries are in close proximity to one another and we are now evaluating the potential for a cluster development. There are various options for the commercialisation of gas in the Sabah area.
The first exploration well Batu Hitam-1 drilled in PM308A, offshore peninsular Malaysia was plugged and abandoned as a dry hole after encountering good reservoir with high concentrations of carbon dioxide. The second exploration well in PM 308A Janglau-1 is currently drilling.
In June 2011 Lundin Petroleum acquired a 75 percent working interest in Block PM307 offshore Peninsula Malaysia. A 2,100 km² 3D seismic acquisition programme is planned for 2011 plus the drilling of an appraisal well on the Bertram discovery.
A further five exploration and/or appraisal wells will be drilled in Malaysia in 2012 offshore Sabah and offshore peninsular Malaysia.
The net production to Lundin Petroleum from Russia for the period was 3,200 boepd.
In the Lagansky Block (WI 70%) in the northern Caspian a major oil discovery was made on the Morskaya field in 2008. The discovery due to its offshore location is deemed to be strategic by the Russian Government under the Foreign Strategic Investment Law. As a result a 50 percent ownership by a state owned company is required prior to appraisal and development. During 2010, 103 km² of new 3D seismic was acquired on the Lagansky block which has identified further exploration prospects in the Lagansky Block.
The net production to Lundin Petroleum from the Oudna field (WI 40%) was 800 boepd for the reporting period.
The drilling of the exploration well Mindou Marine-1 on Block Marine XI (WI 18.75%) was completed in October 2011. The well will be plugged and abandoned as a dry hole. The well is the first of a two or three well exploration programme on blocks Marine XI and Marine XIV (WI 21.55%) which will be completed in 2012.
The net result from continuing operations for the nine month period ended 30 September 2011 (reporting period) amounted to MUSD 169.3 (MUSD 42.8). The net result attributable to shareholders of the Parent Company from continuing operations for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 172.6 (MUSD 52.5) representing earnings per share on a fully diluted basis of USD 0.56 (USD 0.17).
Earnings before interest, tax, depletion and amortisation (EBITDA) for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 767.3 (MUSD 425.6) representing EBITDA per share on a fully diluted basis of USD 2.47 (USD 1.36). Operating cash flow for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 586.8 (MUSD 416.5) representing operating cash flow per share on a fully diluted basis of USD 1.89 (USD 1.33).
There are no changes to the Group for the reporting period.

The increase in Norway production volumes over the comparative reporting period is attributable to the Volund field which came onstream in April 2010. The Volund field has a contracted minimum capacity of 25.0 Mboepd through the Alvheim FPSO but has produced at over 39.0 Mboepd in the third quarter of 2011 taking advantage of spare capacity. Volund has contributed 11.9 Mboepd (3.8 Mboepd) for the reporting period and 13.7 Mboepd (7.1 Mboepd) for the third quarter of 2011.
The 2010 production figures for Indonesia include the contributions of the Salawati assets of 2.1 Mboepd for the first nine months of 2010 and 2.0 Mboepd for the full year 2010. The Salawati assets were sold in December 2010.
Net sales of oil and gas for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 938.9 (MUSD 549.0) and are detailed in Note 1. Sales volumes for the reporting period were 17 percent higher and the achieved oil price was 46 percent higher than the comparative period. The average price achieved by Lundin Petroleum for a barrel of oil equivalent amounted to USD 101.63 (USD 69.51) and is detailed in the following table. The premium over dated Brent on Norwegian crude oil sold during the reporting period averaged USD 3.82 per barrel.

Sales quantities in a period can differ from production quantities as a result of permanent and timing differences. Timing differences can arise due to inventory, storage and pipeline balances effects. Permanent differences arise as a result of paying royalties in kind as well as the effects from production sharing agreements.
Oil produced in Tunisia is only lifted when the Ikdam FPSO is near to full. An Oudna cargo was lifted in April 2011 and is forecast to be the only Tunisian lifting during 2011.
The oil produced in Russia is sold on either the Russian domestic market or exported into the international market. 36 percent (40 percent) of Russian sales for the reporting period were on the international market at an average price of USD 110.28 per barrel (USD 74.16 per barrel) with the remaining 64 percent (60 percent) of Russian sales being sold on the domestic market at an average price of USD 46.56 per barrel (USD 33.94 per barrel).
Other operating income amounted to MUSD 7.6 (MUSD 9.5) for the reporting period and includes MUSD 3.5 (MUSD -) of income relating to a quality differential compensation adjustment payable from the Vilje field owners to the Alvheim and Volund field owners. All three fields produce to the Alvheim FPSO vessel and the oil is commingled to produce an Alvheim crude blend which is then sold. This adjustment for the comparative period amounted to MUSD 2.1 and was netted off against production costs. Also included in other operating income is tariff income from France and the Netherlands and income for maintaining strategic inventory levels in France. Operating income for the comparative period includes MUSD 7.0 relating to Etrion's solar business.
Production costs for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 146.2 (MUSD 108.3) and are detailed in Note 2. The production and depletion costs per barrel of oil equivalent produced from continuing oil and gas operations are detailed in the table below.

The total cost of operations for the reporting period was MUSD 74.1 compared to MUSD 67.0 for the comparative period. The current reporting period includes costs of the Volund field, Norway and Singa field, Indonesia for a full nine month period whereas the Volund and Singa fields contributed costs partially in the comparative period having commenced production in the second quarter of 2010. In addition, in the reporting period there has been certain one-off costs associated with the unplanned shutdown of the Alvheim FPSO during the second quarter of 2011 and expenditures related to the FPSO used on the Oudna field. The increases are partly offset by a reduction compared to the comparative period following the disposal of the Salawati assets, Indonesia in December 2010.
The cost of operations for the third quarter of 2011 were MUSD 25.6, corresponding to USD 8.20 per barrel compared to MUSD 25.4 corresponding to USD 8.96 per barrel for the second quarter of 2011. The reduction in the cost of operations per barrel in the third quarter compared to the second quarter is due to the 10 percent higher production during the third quarter. Included in the third quarter of 2011 was expenditure of MUSD 1.5 for inspection of the mooring system and riser as well as further re-certification costs of the FPSO used on the Oudna field, Tunisia. During the second quarter of 2011, costs of MUSD 1.2 were incurred associated with the inspecting and testing of the deluge system on the Alvheim FPSO. The total cost of operations per barrel for the full year is expected to be USD 8.50 per barrel in line with the original 2011 forecast.
The tariff and transportation expenses for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 17.6 compared to MUSD 11.8 for the comparative period. The increase is mainly due to the increased production contribution from the Volund field, Norway which pays a tariff to the Alvheim field owners and commenced production in April 2010. Lundin Petroleum has a 15 percent working interest in the Alvheim field and a 35 percent interest in the Volund field and the self-to-self element of the tariff is eliminated for accounting purposes leaving a net 20 percent cost for Volund in tariff and transportation expenses.
Royalty and direct taxes includes Russian Mineral Resource Extraction Tax (MRET) and Russian Export Duties. The rate of MRET is levied on the volume of Russian production and varies in relation to the international market price of Urals blend and the Rouble exchange rate. MRET averaged USD 21.34 (USD 13.45) per barrel of Russian production for the reporting period. The rate of export duty on Russian oil is revised by the Russian Federation monthly and is dependent on the average price obtained for Urals Blend for the preceding one month period. The export duty is levied on the volume of oil exported from Russia and averaged USD 57.78 (USD 37.14) per barrel for the reporting period. The royalty and direct taxes have increased compared to the comparative period following the rise in crude prices impacting the cost of Russian MRET and export duty.
There are both permanent and timing differences that result in sales volumes not being equal to production volumes during a period. Changes to the hydrocarbon inventory and under or overlift positions result from these timing differences and an amount of MUSD 13.1 (MUSD -3.7) was charged to the income statement for the reporting period.
Depletion costs amounted to MUSD 121.4 (MUSD 107.0) and are detailed in Note 3. The main increase from the comparative period is in Norway where the depletion cost expensed has increased by 30 percent in line with the increase in production. Norway contributed approximately 80 percent of the total depletion charge for the period at a rate of USD 15.35 per barrel and this increases the overall rate from the comparative period. Depletion per barrel for the reporting period is in line with forecast.
Exploration costs for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 80.2 (MUSD 66.8) and are detailed in Note 4. The amount expensed during the third quarter of 2011 was MUSD 64.0 and relates primarily to the costs associated with the Earb South well in PL505, offshore Norway, completed at the end of July 2011. The Earb South well was a discovery but is unlikely to be commercial and therefore the costs associated with PL505 have been expensed. During the third quarter of 2011 the Batu Hitam exploration well drilled on Block 308A, offshore Malaysia, was plugged and abandoned as a dry well. The costs associated with this well were expensed during the quarter.
Exploration and appraisal costs are capitalised as they are incurred. When exploration drilling is unsuccessful the costs are immediately charged to the income statement as exploration costs. All capitalised exploration costs are reviewed on a regular basis and are expensed where there is uncertainty regarding their recoverability.
The general, administrative and depreciation expenses for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 35.1 (MUSD 26.7) of which MUSD 18.1 (MUSD 3.8) related to non-cash charges in relation to the Group's Long-term Incentive Plan (LTIP) scheme. The MUSD 26.7 reported in the comparative reporting period includes an amount of MUSD 10.9 relating to Etrion.
The cost for the third quarter of 2011 increased due to the increase in the LTIP provision as a result of a higher Lundin Petroleum share price at the balance sheet date. The value of the LTIP award, based on Lundin Petroleum's share price at the balance sheet date, is applied to the vested portion of all outstanding LTIP awards including that of prior periods and therefore the charge to the income statement reflects the change in the provision. Lundin Petroleum has mitigated the exposure of the LTIP by purchasing 6,882,638 of its own shares. For more detail refer to the Remuneration section.
Financial income for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 39.2 (MUSD 13.8) and is detailed in Note 6.
Interest income for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 3.3 (MUSD 1.9). The interest income in the reporting period includes an amount of MUSD 1.5 relating to a loan to Etrion Corporation which is no longer eliminated on consolidation, following the distribution of the shares held in Etrion in November 2010. The Etrion loan was repaid during the second quarter of 2011.
Foreign exchange gains for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 2.7 (MUSD 8.4). The US Dollar strengthened against the Euro and the Norwegian Kroner during the third quarter of 2011 giving rise to exchange gain movements on the intercompany loans and working capital balances. The MUSD 16.0 exchange gain in the third quarter of 2011 reversed the MUSD 13.4 foreign exchange loss reported for the six months ended 30 June 2011.
In March 2011, Lundin Petroleum converted MUSD 13.0 of the MUSD 23.8 convertible loan receivable from Africa Oil Corporation (AOC) loan into 14 million shares in AOC at a conversion price of Canadian Dollars (CAD) 0.90 per share. The shares were subsequently sold on the open market for CAD 2.00 per share realising a gain of MUSD 15.6. In April 2011, the remainder of the loan was converted into 11.85 million shares at a conversion price of CAD 0.90 per share and the shares were sold on the open market for CAD 2.10 per share realising a further gain of MUSD 14.3.
Financial expenses for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 16.2 (MUSD 25.1) and are detailed in Note 7.
Interest expenses for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 4.3 (MUSD 6.3). An additional amount of MUSD 2.4 of interest associated with the funding of the development of the Volund field, offshore Norway, was capitalised in the comparative period.
In January 2008, the Group entered into an interest rate hedging contract to fix the LIBOR rate of interest at 3.75 percent per year on MUSD 200 of the Group's USD borrowings for the period from January 2008 until January 2012. An amount of MUSD 5.2 (MUSD 5.2) was charged to the income statement for the reporting period for settlements under the hedging contracts.
A provision for the costs of site restoration is recorded in the balance sheet at the discounted value of the estimated future cost. The effect of the discount is unwound each year and charged to the income statement. An amount of MUSD 3.4 (MUSD 3.0) has been charged to the income statement for the reporting period.
The tax charge for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 417.3 (MUSD 195.6) and is detailed in Note 8.
The current tax charge for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 213.5 (MUSD 33.7) of which MUSD 185.7 (MUSD 14.6) relates to Norway. The increase in the Norway current tax charge from the comparative period is mainly due to the utilisation of the tax losses in 2010.
The deferred tax charge for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 203.7 (MUSD 161.9) and arises where there is a difference in depreciation for tax and accounting purposes and tax losses have offset the current tax charge. MUSD 194.0 (MUSD 161.4) of the deferred tax charge is attributable to Norway.
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 for the Group for the reporting period amounted to 71 percent. This effective rate is calculated from the face of the income statement and does not reflect the effective rate of tax paid within each country of operation. The main contributor to the tax charge is Norway where the tax rate is 78 percent reduced by the effect of uplift for tax purposes on development expenditure. The effective rate of cash tax payable in the reporting period is 36 percent primarily because exploration expenditure and tax allowances on development expenditure provided a tax deduction in Norway during the reporting period.
The net result attributable to non-controlling interest for the reporting period amounted to MUSD -3.4 (MUSD -9.6) and mainly relates to the non-controlling interest's share in a Russian subsidiary which is fully consolidated.
The net result from discontinued operations for the reporting period amounted to MUSD - (MUSD 369.3). The amount in the comparative period is attributable to the net result for the United Kingdom up to 6 April 2010, the date of the UK spin-off. For more detail refer to Note 9.
Oil and gas properties amounted to MUSD 2,309.8 (MUSD 1,999.0) and are detailed in Note 10.

Lundin Petroleum has a secured revolving borrowing base facility of MUSD 850 with a seven year term expiring in 2014, of which MUSD 222.0 was drawn in cash as at 30 September 2011. The MUSD 850 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 at an oil price and economic assumptions agreed with the banking syndicate providing the facility and is currently in excess of the facility size. The facility has reached a stage where availability reduces every six months. The maximum amount that can be drawn under the facility has been reduced to MUSD 740 and will continue to reduce until maturity of the facility.
Lundin Petroleum has, through its subsidiary Lundin Malaysia BV, entered into five Production Sharing Contracts (PSC) with Petroliam Nasional Berhad, the oil and gas company of the Government of Malaysia (Petronas), in respect of the six operated blocks in Malaysia.

At the end of October 2011, the Mindou Marine-1 exploration well (WI 18.75%) was completed on Block Marine XI, offshore Congo (Brazzaville). The well will be plugged and abandoned as a dry hole and the costs associated with the well will be expensed during the fourth quarter of 2011.
Lundin Petroleum AB's issued share capital amounted to SEK 3,179,106 represented by 317,910,580 shares with a quota value of SEK 0.01 each.
As at 30 September 2011, Lundin Petroleum held 6,882,638 of its own shares.
In 2008, Lundin Petroleum implemented a LTIP scheme consisting of a Unit Bonus Plan which provides for an annual grant of units that will lead to a cash payment at vesting. The LTIP will be payable over a period of three years from award. The cash payment will be determined at the end of each vesting period by multiplying the number of units then vested by the share price. The share price for determining the cash payment at the end of each vesting period will be the five trading day average closing Lundin Petroleum share price prior to and following the actual vesting date.
The AGM held on 13 May 2009 approved the 2009 LTIP and divided it into one plan for Executive Management (being the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Senior Vice President Operations) and one plan for certain other employees.
The LTIP for Executive Management includes 5,500,928 phantom options with an exercise price of SEK 52.91 (rebased from 4,000,000 phantom options and SEK 72.76 respectively following the distribution of the EnQuest and Etrion shares). The phantom options will vest in May 2014 being the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. The recipients will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the average closing price of the Company's shares during the fifth year following grant, less the exercise price, multiplied by the number of phantom options. The participants of the phantom option scheme are not entitled to receive new awards under the Unit Bonus Plan whilst the phantom options are still outstanding.
Lundin Petroleum holds 6,882,638 of its own shares acquired at an average cost of SEK 46.51 per share which mitigates the exposure of the LTIP. The Lundin Petroleum share price at 30 September 2011 was SEK 117.60. The provision for LTIP amounted to MUSD 37.3 as at 30 September 2011 and the market value of the shares held at 30 September 2011 was MUSD 118.0. The gain in the value of the own shares held is not offset against the cost for the LTIP in accordance with accounting rules.
The number of units relating to the 2009, 2010 and 2011 Unit Bonus Plans outstanding as at 30 September 2011 were 219,985, 470,169, and 425,850.
The financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Reporting, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554). The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010.
The financial statements of the Parent Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Sweden, applying RFR 2 issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board and the Annual accounts Act (1995:1554).
Under Swedish company regulations it is not allowed to report the Parent Company results in any other currency than SEK and consequently the Parent Company financial statements are still reported in SEK and not in USD.
The major risk the Group faces is the nature of oil and gas exploration and production itself. 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. Lundin Petroleum's long-term commercial success depends on its ability to find, acquire, develop and commercially produce oil and natural gas reserves. A future increase in Lundin Petroleum's reserves will depend not only on its ability to explore and develop any properties that Lundin Petroleum may have from time to time, but also on its ability to select and acquire suitable producing properties or prospects. In addition, there is no assurance that commercial quantities of oil and gas will be discovered or acquired by Lundin Petroleum.
The Group faces a number of risks and uncertainties in the areas of operation which may have an adverse impact on its ability to successfully pursue its exploration, appraisal and development plans as well as on its production of oil and gas. A more detailed analysis of the operational risks faced by Lundin Petroleum is given in the Company's annual report for 2010.
Lundin Petroleum is, and will be, actively engaged in oil and gas operations in various countries. Lundin Petroleum's exploration, development and production activities may be subject to political and economic uncertainties, expropriation of property and cancellation or modification of contract rights, taxation, royalties, duties, foreign exchange restrictions and other risks arising out of foreign governmental sovereignty over the areas in which Lundin Petroleum's operations are conducted, as well as risks of loss in some countries due to civil strife, acts of war, guerrilla activities and insurrection. Further, certain aspects of Lundin Petroleum's exploration and production programmes require the consent or favourable decisions of governmental bodies.
As an international oil and gas exploration and production company operating globally, Lundin Petroleum is exposed to financial risks such as fluctuations in oil price, currency rates, interest rates as well as liquidity and credit risks. The Company shall seek to control these risks through sound management practice and the use of internationally accepted financial instruments, such as oil price, currency and interest rate hedges. Lundin Petroleum uses financial instruments solely for the purpose of minimising risks in the Company's business. A more detailed analysis of the financial risks faced by Lundin Petroleum and how it addresses these risks is given in the Company's annual report for 2010.
The Group entered into an interest hedging contract on 8 January 2008, fixing the LIBOR rate of interest at 3.75 percent p.a. on MUSD 200 of the Group's USD borrowings for the period January 2008 to January 2012. The interest rate contract relates to the current credit facility. Under IAS 39, the interest rate contract is effective and qualifies for hedge accounting. Changes in fair value of this contract are charged directly to other comprehensive income. As at 30 September 2011, there is a current liability in the balance sheet amounting to MUSD 1.9 (MUSD 6.9) representing the fair value of the outstanding part of the interest rate contract.

Certain statements made and information contained herein constitute "forward-looking information" (within the meaning of applicable Canadian 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 forwardlooking 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 unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as on the date of this news release 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 and access, reliance on key personnel, reserve estimates, health, safety and environmental issues, legal risks and regulatory changes, competition, geopolitical risk, financial risks. These risks and uncertainties are described in more detail under the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the Company's 2010 annual report.

Forward-looking statements included in this new release are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
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 which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies.
The contingent resource range has been estimated including uncertainties in reservoir extent, reservoir properties and recovery factors. The main contingency preventing the classification of the resources as reserves is the definition of a conceptual development plan.
The recovery and production estimates of the Company's resources provided herein are only estimates and there is no guarantee that the estimated resources will be recovered or produced. Actual resources may be greater than or less than the estimates provided here. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable for the Company to produce any portion of these resources.
The effective date of the resource estimate is the date of this press release.
