Lundin has commenced its Malaysian drilling campaign with the spud of the Tarap-1 well in the SB 303 Block offshore Sabah, East Malaysia.

The well will target Miocene sandstones in the Kindu sub basin. The well will be drilled with the Offshore Courageous rig in a water depth of approximately 70 meters. It will be a deviated well, directionally drilled to intersect a series of stacked seismic anomalies, with a planned total depth of 2,140 meters subsea.

The well is the first of the five well program planned in 2011 by Lundin Malaysia BV in its Malaysian Blocks.

Lundin Petroleum holds 75 percent interest in SB303 through its subsidiary Lundin Malaysia BV. Lundin Malaysia BV's partner is PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd with a 25 percent interest. Lundin Malaysia BV operates five blocks in Malaysia, namely PM308A, PM308B, SB303, SB307 and SB308.

Ashley Heppenstall, President and CEO of Lundin Petroleum commented, "We are very pleased to commence our five well drilling programme in Malaysia, a country where the Lundin Group achieved significant exploration success in the 1990's."
