Lundin Petroleum Receives First Oil On to Thistle Installation Through Pipeline from Don Development
Lundin Petroleum AB is pleased to announce that the Thistle facility has received the first export oil volumes across the facility from the Dons development.

In addition to the oil pipeline between the two facilities there is also a gas pipeline which, when commissioned, will take surplus gas from the Dons development for fuel on Thistle.

Lundin Petroleum began modification of the Thistle platform in late 2009.The final tie-ins and pipeline commissioning operations were completed in early March 2010.
