"I am pleased to announce another strong quarterly performance across the business. Our Edvard Grieg and Alvheim fields have yet again delivered excellent production efficiency, along with a strong HSE track record, which has driven our production for the quarter to the upper end of expectations, whilst also maintaining our industry leading low operating costs. Also, the trend of industry leading low carbon operations continued at the Edvard Grieg field, coming in at a quarter of the world average.
"At Johan Sverdrup, a significant milestone has been reached with the offshore installation of all the topsides and bridges completed at the end of March, meaning commissioning and hook up has begun in earnest, alongside the tie-back of the eight pre-drilled production wells. With the majority of commissioning for these facilities having taken place onshore and the ability to perform single lift installation using the Pioneering Spirit vessel, I am confident in the expected November 2019 start-up of this world class asset.
"At our Capital Markets Day in January, I outlined the seven potential projects which we have in the pipeline and I am pleased to say that four of these are now underway. With the sanction of the Solveig Phase 1 development and Rolvsnes well test, as well as the commitment to the infill well programme on Edvard Grieg; the production plateau profile at the Greater Edvard Grieg Area will be extended further and this is a clear example of how an organic growth strategy can sustainably deliver significant value creation.
"During the quarter we also added a further two wells to the 2019 exploration programme, bringing the total to 17 wells, our busiest ever. The year has started well in this respect with success at the Froskelår Main well near Alvheim and the remaining programme is targeting net unrisked resources of over 400 MMboe, which ensures a significant, continuous exploration programme throughout the year.
"We have had a strong start to the year and with the completion of the installation of the Johan Sverdrup topsides, the continuing, high impact exploration programme, strong production with industry leading low operating costs and excellent HSE track record; I remain confident in Lundin Petroleum's ability to continue to realise financial and organic growth."

All the reported numbers and updates in the operational review relate to the three month period ending 31 March 2019 (reporting period) unless otherwise specified.
Production was 78.8 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (Mboepd) which was 3 percent above mid-point of the production guidance for the quarter and towards the upper end of the guidance range. This result is due to facilities and reservoir performance at the Edvard Grieg field. Production guidance for the full year remains between 75 and 95 Mboepd, reflecting a range around the expected start-up of the Johan Sverdrup field in November 2019.
Operating cost, including netting off tariff income, was USD 4.51 per barrel, which is 5 percent below guidance for the quarter. Full year operating cost guidance remains USD 4.25 per barrel.

1 Lundin Petroleum's working interest (WI).
Production from the Edvard Grieg field was above forecast, supported by strong production efficiency ahead of guidance at 99 percent. Reservoir performance continues to exceed expectations; with limited water production and total well potential significantly higher than available facilities capacity. An infill drilling programme is planned at the Edvard Grieg field commencing in 2020, which is targeting 16 MMboe of gross contingent resources based on a three well programme. The Rowan Viking jack-up rig, used to drill all the existing development wells at the Edvard Grieg field, has been contracted for the infill programme on the basis of three firm well slots plus a number of optional slots. Operating cost for the Edvard Grieg field, including netting off tariff income, was USD 4.41 per barrel.
Production from the Ivar Aasen field was in line with forecast. During April 2019, the drilling of two infill production wells commenced and are expected to come on stream in the third quarter of 2019.
Production from the Alvheim area, consisting of the Alvheim, Volund and the Bøyla fields, was in line with forecast. Production efficiency for the Alvheim FPSO was ahead of expectations at 97 percent. During April 2019, the drilling of a sidetrack infill production well was completed at the Volund field and is expected to come on stream in the second quarter 2019. The Frosk test production well is currently drilling and is expected to come on stream in the third quarter of 2019. The Frosk well will be produced through the Bøyla facilities and is planned as a two branch producer also including two pilot holes, one of which is targeting the Froskelår North East prospect. Operating cost for the Alvheim area was USD 5.79 per barrel.

Phase 1 of the Johan Sverdrup project continues to progress according to schedule and is now over 85 percent complete. A major milestone was achieved in March 2019 with the successful installation of the processing platform topsides and the living quarters topsides using the Pioneering Spirit installation vessel. Two connecting bridges were also successfully installed. This operation concludes the main installation activities for Phase 1 of the project, which consists of four jackets and topsides, three subsea water injection templates, oil and gas export pipelines and power supply from shore. Hook-up and commissioning of the field centre will now take place, alongside the tie-back of the eight pre-drilled production wells. Two accommodation units are located offshore, which together with the newly installed living quarters will at peak allow for approximately 1,000 personnel working on the hook-up and commissioning of the facilities. With the successful installation of the remaining facilities, the project is firmly on track to achieve expected first oil in November 2019. The gross production capacity of Phase 1 is estimated at 440 Mbopd, with ramp-up to plateau production levels expected to take until summer 2020.
The capital expenditure estimate for Phase 1 as at August 2018 is gross NOK 86 billion (nominal) compared to the Phase 1 PDO estimate in 2015 of gross NOK 123 billion (nominal), representing a saving of over 30 percent, excluding additional foreign exchange rate savings in US dollar terms.
The Phase 2 PDO was submitted to the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy in August 2018 and is expected to be approved during the second quarter of 2019. Phase 2 involves a second processing platform bridge linked to the Phase 1 field centre, subsea facilities to allow for tie-in of additional wells to access the Avaldsnes, Kvitsøy and Geitungen satellite areas of the field and implementation of full field water alternating gas injection (WAG) for enhanced recovery. 28 new wells are planned to be drilled in connection with the Phase 2 development. Phase 2 first oil is scheduled in the fourth quarter 2022 and will take the gross plateau production capacity to 660 Mbopd. Full field breakeven oil price is estimated at below 20 USD per barrel.
The Phase 2 capital expenditure is estimated at gross NOK 41 billion (nominal), which is unchanged from the Phase 2 PDO estimate and over a 50 percent saving from the original estimate in the Phase 1 PDO. Phase 2 of the project is progressing to plan and the major topsides contracts and the jacket contract for the Phase 2 facilities, as well as the contract for the Subsea Production System, have been awarded. Detailed engineering is progressing on schedule and construction of the second processing platform has started with first steel cut at Aibel's construction yard in Thailand in March 2019.
The PDO for the Solveig Phase 1 project was submitted to the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy in March 2019 and is anticipated to be approved during the second quarter of 2019. Solveig is the first Edvard Grieg subsea tie-back development and will contribute to keeping the Edvard Grieg platform filled to capacity for an extended time period. Phase 1 will be developed with three oil production wells and two water injection wells and will achieve gross peak production of 30 Mboepd, with first oil scheduled in the first quarter 2021.
Solveig Phase 1 gross proved plus probable reserves are estimated at 57 MMboe. The capital cost of the development is estimated at MUSD 810 gross with a breakeven oil price of below 30 USD per barrel. The potential for further phases of development, which will capture the upside potential in the discovered resources, will be derisked by production performance from Phase 1.
The Solveig Phase 1 project is progressing to plan. All of the key contracts have been awarded and modifications at the Edvard Grieg platform will commence during the second quarter 2019.
The production application for the Rolvsnes Extended Well Test (EWT) was submitted in April 2019. The Rolvsnes EWT project will be conducted through a 3 km subsea tie-back of the existing Rolvsnes horizontal well to the Edvard Grieg platform. The project is being implemented together with the Solveig project to take advantage of contracting and implementation synergies, with first oil scheduled in the second quarter 2021. The on-trend Goddo prospect is planned to be drilled in the second quarter 2019, with the combined Rolvsnes and Goddo prospective area estimated to contain gross potential resources of more than 250 MMboe.

The appraisal well that was planned on Alta/Gohta in 2019 has been deferred to 2020 to allow additional time to complete the technical work required to assess the forward appraisal strategy. Lundin has a flexible contract for the Leiv Eiriksson drilling rig with sufficient optional slots to meet the Company's operated 2019 drilling programme. The deferral of the Alta/Gohta appraisal well has allowed the Leiv Eiriksson rig to be utilised by ConocoPhillips to accelerate into 2019 the drilling of two exploration wells in PL917 in which Lundin Petroleum has an interest.

1 Lundin's working interest will increase to 60% on closing of the Lime Petroleum transaction
Due to changing priorities, the 2019 exploration drilling programme has been increased to 17 wells, of which four have been completed yielding one oil discovery. The remaining programme is targeting net unrisked resources of over 400 MMboe. The appraisal and exploration spend guidance for 2019 is being maintained at MUSD 300.
In February 2019, the Gjøkåsen Shallow prospect in PL857 in the southeastern Barents Sea was drilled and was dry.
In February 2019, the Pointer/Setter dual target prospect in PL767 located in the southern Barents Sea was drilled and was dry.
In March 2019, the Froskelår Main prospect in PL869 in the Alvheim area proved an oil and gas discovery. The discovery is estimated to contain gross resources of between 60 and 130 MMboe with part of the discovery potentially extending into the UK. Froskelår Main will be evaluated as part of a potential joint development with the Frosk discovery.
In March 2019, drilling commenced on a dual branch well targeting the Jorvik and Tellus East prospects on the eastern side of the Edvard Grieg field in PL338. The well is targeting extensions of the same reservoirs found at Edvard Grieg; conglomerates/pebbly sandstones in the Jorvik prospect and weathered and fractured basement potentially draped by sandstones in the Tellus East prospect. The two prospects combined are estimated to contain gross unrisked prospective resources of 23 MMboe and if successful can be developed with wells drilled from the Edvard Grieg platform.
In April 2019, the Gjøkåsen Deep prospect in PL857 in the southeastern Barents Sea was drilled and was dry.
In April 2019, drilling commenced on the dual target Vinstra/Otta prospect in PL539 located in the Mandal High area of the North Sea. Vinstra is targeting Permian Rotliegendes sandstones and Otta is a Jurassic sandstone target, with combined gross unrisked prospective resources of 555 MMboe.
In April 2019, drilling commenced on the JK prospect in PL916 located in the north of the Utsira High area of the North Sea. The main target of the well is Jurassic Statfjord sandstones with gross unrisked prospective resources of 243 MMboe.
Preparation of the decommissioning plan for the Brynhild field is ongoing with operations anticipated to be conducted during 2020/2021. The Rowan Viking jack-up drilling rig has been secured to plug and abandon the four Brynhild development wells.
The Gaupe field ceased production during the fourth quarter of 2018 and preparation of the decommissioning plan for the field is also ongoing.
In January 2019, Lundin Petroleum was awarded 15 licences in the 2018 APA licensing round, of which nine are as operator.
In January 2019, Lundin Petroleum entered into a sales and purchase agreement involving the acquisition of Lime Petroleum's 30 percent working interest in each of PL338C and PL338E and 20 percent working interest in PL815, which contain the Rolvsnes oil discovery and Goddo prospect. The transaction will increase the Company's working interest in each of PL338C and PL338E to 80 percent and in PL815 to 60 percent. The transaction involves a cash consideration payable to Lime Petroleum and is subject to customary government approvals. The transaction is expected to complete in mid 2019, with economic effect from 1 January 2019.
Lundin Petroleum has applied for a possible extension area of the Mandal High prospectivity into Denmark in the 8th Danish licensing round where confirmation of awards are expected during the second quarter of 2019.
Currently the Company holds 80 licences in Norway, which is an increase of approximately 65 percent from the beginning of 2018.
Lundin Petroleum has previously written down the entire contingent resources and book value for the Morskaya oil discovery in Russia, as it was deemed unlikely that the discovery could commercially be developed in the foreseeable future. Having reviewed potential options, the partnership concluded that it is not possible for the partnership to create value from the asset and consequently the Morskaya licence has been relinquished.
During the reporting period, there were no recordable safety incidents and no material environmental incidents. The trend of industry leading low carbon operations continued at the Edvard Grieg field with a carbon intensity of 4.5 kgCO2e/boe during the first quarter of 2019.
The operating profit for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 267.2 (MUSD 337.6). The decrease compared to the comparative period was mainly driven by expensed exploration costs during the reporting period and slightly lower production volumes and oil prices, somewhat offset by lower depletion costs.
The net result for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 54.9 (MUSD 228.8) representing earnings per share of USD 0.16 (USD 0.68) and impacted by a lower foreign currency exchange gain of MUSD 0.8 (MUSD 162.1). The net result excluding foreign currency exchange results amounted to MUSD 54.1 (MUSD 66.7).
Earnings before interest, tax, depletion and amortisation (EBITDA) for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 406.0 (MUSD 456.5) representing EBITDA per share of USD 1.20 (USD 1.35). Operating cash flow for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 385.0 (MUSD 461.8) representing operating cash flow per share of USD 1.14 (USD 1.36). Free cash flow for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 95.8 (MUSD 171.8) representing free cash flow per share of USD 0.28 (USD 0.51).
In January 2019, Lundin Petroleum entered into a sales and purchase agreement for the acquisition of Lime Petroleum's 30 percent working interest in each of PL338C and PL338E and 20 percent working interest in PL815, which contain the Rolvsnes oil discovery and Goddo prospect. The transaction will increase the Company's working interest in each of PL338C and PL338E to 80 percent and in PL815 to 60 percent. The transaction involves a cash consideration payable to Lime Petroleum of MUSD 43 and a contingent payment of an additional MUSD 2 which potentially becomes payable 12 months after the completion date of the transaction. The transaction is subject to customary government approvals.
Revenue and other income for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 491.6 (MUSD 692.9) and was comprised of net sales of oil and gas, change in under/over lift position and other revenue as detailed in Note 1.
Net sales of oil and gas for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 476.5 (MUSD 694.2). The average price achieved by Lundin Petroleum for a barrel of oil equivalent from own production amounted to USD 60.88 (USD 64.53) and is detailed in the following table. The average Dated Brent price for the reporting period amounted to USD 63.13 (USD 66.82) per barrel.
Net sales of oil and gas from own production for the reporting period are detailed in Note 3 and were comprised as follows:

The table above excludes crude oil revenue from third party activities.
Net sales of crude oil from third party activities for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 40.1 (MUSD 193.4) and consisted of Grane Blend crude oil purchased from outside the Group by Lundin Petroleum Marketing SA and sold to the market.
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. 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 an income of MUSD 7.5 (expense of MUSD 9.5) in the reporting period due to the timing of the cargo liftings compared to production.
Other income for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 7.6 (MUSD 8.2) and included a quality differential compensation on Alvheim blended crude and tariff income of MUSD 7.0 (MUSD 7.6) which is due to net income from Ivar Aasen tariffs paid to Edvard Grieg.
Production costs including inventory movements for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 40.1 (MUSD 38.6) and are detailed in Note 2. The total production cost per barrel of oil equivalent produced is detailed in the table below:
| Production costs | 1 Jan 2019- 31 Mar 2019 3 months |

Note: USD per boe is calculated by dividing the cost by total production volume for the period.
1 The numbers in this table are excluding tariff income netting. Lundin Petroleum's operating cost for the reporting period of USD 5.50 (USD 4.83) per barrel is reduced to USD 4.51 (USD 3.82) when tariff income is netted off.
The total cost of operations for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 28.0 (MUSD 27.3) and the total cost of operations excluding operational projects amounted to MUSD 25.1 (MUSD 24.9).
The cost of operations per barrel for the reporting period amounted to USD 3.95 (USD 3.65) including operational projects and USD 3.54 (USD 3.33) excluding operational projects.
Tariff and transportation expenses for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 11.0 (MUSD 8.9) or USD 1.55 (USD 1.18) per barrel. The increase compared to the comparative period is driven by higher pipeline tariff rates in combination with freight costs for crude oil sales.
Other costs for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 1.1 (MUSD 1.8) and related to the business interruption insurance.
Depletion and decommissioning costs for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 99.8 (MUSD 118.5) at an average rate of USD 14.08 (USD 15.84) per barrel and are detailed in Note 3. The lower depletion costs for the reporting period compared to the comparative period is due to lower production volumes in combination with a lower depletion rate per barrel in USD terms as the depletion rate per barrel is calculated in Norwegian Kroner and with the Norwegian Kroner having weakened the USD depletion rate has been reduced.
Exploration costs expensed in the income statement for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 37.3 (MUSD -0.3) 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.
Purchase of crude oil from third parties for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 40.1 (MUSD 192.2) and related to Grane Blend crude oil purchased from outside the Group.
The general administrative and depreciation expenses for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 7.1 (MUSD 6.3) which included a charge of MUSD 1.4 (MUSD 1.0) in relation to the Group's long-term incentive plans (LTIP), see also Remuneration section below. Fixed asset depreciation expenses for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 1.7 (MUSD 0.7) with the increase compared to the comparative period mainly caused by the implementation of IFRS 16 with effective date 1 January 2019 based on which depreciation expenses relating to right of use assets are included in the reporting period.
Finance income for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 9.1 (MUSD 162.4) and is detailed in Note 4.
The net foreign currency exchange gain for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 0.8 (MUSD 162.1). 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. Lundin Petroleum has hedged certain foreign currency capital expenditure amounts against the US Dollar and for the reporting period, the net realised exchange loss on these settled foreign exchange hedges amounted to MUSD 3.8 (gain of MUSD 5.4).
The US Dollar strengthened against the Euro during the reporting period resulting in a net foreign currency exchange loss on the US Dollar denominated external loan, which is borrowed by a subsidiary using Euro as functional currency. In addition, the Norwegian Krone strengthened against the Euro in the reporting period, generating a net foreign currency exchange gain on an intercompany loan balance denominated in Norwegian Krone.
The result on interest rate hedge settlements amounted to a gain of MUSD 7.9 (loss of MUSD 2.0).
Finance costs for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 39.9 (MUSD 39.0) and are detailed in Note 5.
Interest expenses for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 16.8 (MUSD 24.5) and represented the portion of interest charged to the income statement. An additional amount of interest of MUSD 24.2 (MUSD 21.6) associated with the funding of the Norwegian development projects was capitalised in the reporting period. The total interest expense reduced compared to the comparative period mainly due to lower drawn debt under the reserve-based lending facility.
The amortisation of the deferred financing fees for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 4.2 (MUSD 4.6) and related to the fees incurred in establishing the reserve-based lending facility. The fees are being expensed over the expected life of the facility.
Loan facility commitment fees for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 3.4 (MUSD 3.5) with the lower drawn debt under the reserve-based lending facility compared to the comparative period being offset by a lower margin for commitment fees as agreed through the amendment of the facility effective as of 1 June 2018.

In February 2016, Lundin Petroleum entered into a committed seven year senior secured reserve-based lending facility of USD 5.0 billion. The facility was amended during the second quarter of 2018 resulting in the interest rate margin over LIBOR being reduced from 3.15 percent to a current rate of 2.25 percent. The facility is secured against certain cash flows generated by the Group. The amount available under the facility is recalculated every twelve 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, a pledge over the Company's working interest in some production licenses and a charge over some of the bank accounts of the pledged companies.
The Swedish Prosecution Authority issued a notification of a corporate fine and forfeiture of economic benefits against Lundin Petroleum in relation to past operations in Sudan from 1997 to 2003. The notification indicated that the Prosecutor might seek a corporate fine of SEK 3 million and forfeiture of economic benefits from the alleged offense in the amount of SEK 3,282 million, based on the profit of the sale of the Block 5A asset in 2003 of SEK 720 million. Any potential corporate fine or forfeiture would only be imposed after the conclusion of a trial, should one occur. The investigation is in its ninth year and Lundin Petroleum remains convinced that there are absolutely no grounds for any allegations of wrongdoing by any Company representative and the Company will firmly contest any corporate fine or forfeiture of economic benefits. The Company considers this to be a contingent liability and therefore no provision has been recognised.
There are no subsequent events to report.
Lundin Petroleum AB's issued share capital amounted to SEK 3,478,713 represented by 340,386,445 shares with a quota value of SEK 0.01 each (rounded off).

During 2018, Lundin Petroleum purchased an additional 640,000 of its own shares at an average price of SEK 186.77 based on the approval granted at the AGM 2017 resulting in 1,873,310 of its own shares held by the Company.
The AGM of Lundin Petroleum held on 29 March 2019 in Stockholm approved a cash dividend distribution for the year 2018 of USD 1.48 per share, to be paid in quarterly installments of USD 0.37 per share. Before payment, each quarterly dividend of USD 0.37 per share shall be converted into a SEK amount, and paid out in SEK, based on the USD to SEK exchange rate published by Sweden's central bank (Riksbanken) four business days prior to each record date (rounded off to the nearest whole SEK 0.01 per share). The final USD equivalent amount received by the shareholders may therefore slightly differ depending on what the USD to SEK exchange rate is on the date of the dividend payment. Based on the number of shares outstanding, excluding own shares held by the Company, the approved dividend distribution amounted to MSEK 4,638.7, equaling MUSD 501.0 based on the exchange rate on the date of AGM approval.
The first dividend payment was paid on 5 April 2019. The second dividend payment is expected to be paid around 8 July 2019, with an expected record date of 3 July 2019 and expected ex-dividend date of 2 July 2019. The third dividend payment is expected to be paid around 7 October 2019, with an expected record date of 2 October 2019 and an expected ex-dividend date of 1 October 2019. The fourth dividend payment is expected to be paid around 9 January 2020, with an expected record date of 3 January 2020 and an expected ex-dividend date of 2 January 2020.
In order to comply with Swedish company law, a maximum total SEK amount shall be pre-determined to ensure that the dividend distributed does not exceed the available distributable reserves of the Company and such maximum amount for the 2018 dividend has been set to a cap of SEK 7.665 billion (i.e., SEK 1.916 billion per quarter). If the total dividend would exceed the cap of SEK 7.665 billion, the dividend will be automatically adjusted downwards so that the total dividend corresponds to the cap of SEK 7.665 billion.

Awards given to employees now employed by IPC following the IPC spin-off have been pro-rated until the spin-off date 24 April 2017.
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).
IFRS 16 has come into effect with effective date 1 January 2019. IFRS16 Leases, addresses the recognition in the balance sheet of each contract, with some exceptions, that meets the definition of a lease as a right of use asset and lease liability, while lease payments are to be reflected as interest expense and a reduction of lease liability. The Group has made the following transition choices in relation to IFRS 16: (a) application of the modified retrospective method, (b) right of use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liability and (c) leases with a less than 12 months remaining lease term at year end 2018 are not reflected as leases. The Group has made the following application policy choice: short term leases (less than 12 months) and leases of low value assets are not reflected in the balance sheet, but will be expensed as incurred.
Lundin Petroleum has assessed the impact of IFRS 16 on the financial statements of the Group and only identified one relevant contract containing a lease with no material impact on the financial statements of the Group. The Company accounted for right of use assets and lease commitments amounting to MUSD 36.6 per effective date 1 January 2019.
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 2018.
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 Swedish Krona or Euro and consequently the Parent Company's financial information is reported in Swedish Krona and not the Group's reporting currency of US Dollar.
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 2018 Annual Report.

The fair value of the financial assets is estimated to equal the carrying value. The fair value of the derivative instruments is calculated using the forward interest rate curve and the forward exchange rate curve respectively for the interest rate swap and the currency hedging contracts. The hedge counterparties are all banks which are party to the loan facility agreement.
