The proposed pipeline is expected to provide an access to market for Lundin Oil's Pandora gas discovery in Papua New Guinea. Estimated gas reserves for the Pandora field are 1.6 trillion cubic feet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact: Lundin Oil AB Magnus Nordin Deputy Managing Director 011 46 8 440 54 50 or Lundin Oil AB Sophia Shane Corporate Development - North America (604) 689-7842

Chevron Boosts Number Of Jobs In The PNG Pipeline To 60,000 - Australasian Business Intelligence (Abix): The Courier-Mail, Aug.19 Chevron forecast on 18 August 1999 that its Papua New Guinea to Brisbane gas pipeline would create 60,000 jobs. Previous forecasts have been 5000 jobs over a 30-year period. Project director John Powell said on 18 August that the project was considering alternative gas supplies for the pipeline to overcome any potential shortages or unforeseen circumstances. The pipeline, according to current timetables, will deliver its first gas at the end of the year 2002. However, Chevron is pushing to bring forward project completion. Comalco needs gas for its proposed Gladstone alumina refinery in the middle of 2002.
