Lundin approved for two wells

The Petroleum Safety Authority of Norway has granted Lundin Norway consent to drill two wells: one in the North Sea, and one in the Norwegian Sea.

In the central North Sea, Lundin will drill the Rolvsnes prospect. The exploration well 16/1-25S, is located in Block 16/1, in production license 338C. Drilling with the Bredford Dolphin semisubmersible will begin in mid-September 2015 at the earliest and is estimated to last 45 days, depending on whether a discovery is made.

In the Norwegian Sea, drilling with the Island Innovator semisubmersible at exploration well 6407/10-4 will begin in September 2015.
