Together with the exploration assets in Vietnam, Malaysia, Congo (Brazzaville) and Ireland, Lundin Petroleum has a balanced portfolio of world-class assets. Lundin Petroleum has existing proven and probable reserves of 177 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) and a forecast net production range for 2010 of 29,000-33,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd).
