The well will be permanently plugged according to plan.
Production testing operation was carried out with the drilling unit Transocean Winner, in a water depth of 108 meters.
Ashley Heppenstall, president and chief executive officer of Lundin Petroleum comments: “The test results from this well are positive. We are proceeding with the preparation of the field development plan for Luno in tandem with a further appraisal well in early 2010 which will allow us to optimise the development plan and potentially increase Luno recoverable reserves.”
