Exploration
Baronang/Cakalang
Exploration drilling on the Baronang Block (WI 90%) is planned to commence in the fourth quarter of 2013 with a well and a sidetrack targeting the Balqis and Boni prospects with estimated gross prospective resources of 47 MMboe and 55 MMboe respectively. The jack-up rig Hakuryu 11, owned by JDC, has been contracted for the purpose of drilling the well and the sidetrack.
Gurita
Following the completion of the interpretation of the 3D seismic acquisition of 950 km? acquired in 2012, the Gloria A prospect has been identified as the targeted prospect for the 2013 exploration well on the Gurita Block (WI 90%). The Gloria A prospect, which is estimated to contain gross 25 MMboe of prospective resources, is a fault-dip closure on the south flank of the Jemaja High, with stacked closures at multiple levels for Oligocene aged fluvial and alluvial sands which have been proven in many wells in the Natuna Basin. The Gloria A prospect is scheduled to be drilled in 2013 immediately following the completion of the drilling of the Balqis and Boni prospects on the Baronang Production Sharing Contract (PSC).
South Sokang
A 3D seismic acquisition programme of 1,000 km? has been completed on the South Sokang Block (WI 60%) during the reporting period. The seismic processing and interpretation is schedule to be completed in the first half of 2014.
Cendrawasih
In July 2013, Lundin Petroleum announced that it has signed a new PSC with SKKMigas whereby Lundin Petroleum will swap its Sareba Block with a new Block called the Cendrawasih VII Block (WI 100%) offshore northeastern Indonesia.
Licence farm-out
During the reporting period, Lundin Petroleum completed the previously announced farm-out agreements with Nido Petroleum Limited (Nido) whereby Nido has acquired a 10 percent interest in the Baronang, Cakalang and Gurita PSCs in return for paying their pro-rata share of back costs and a disproportionate share of the exploration costs associated with the drilling of the Baronang and Gurita wells. Nido also has an option to increase its participating interest in all three PSCs with up to an additional 10 percent on the same terms. The option expires once the drilling campaign commences.
