In addition, Lundin Energy has concluded a cooperation agreement with Equinor for the Wisting development with the following key terms, which will see Lundin Energy:

   - Collaborate further with Equinor in the Wisting development by secondment of Lundin Energy employees into key technical and operational positions within the Wisting project
