Comments from President and CEO Bo Askvik

"The third quarter was characterised by a high level of activity throughout our
organisation, involving both increases in production and preparing for our very
extensive drilling programme. Our exploration and appraisal programme during the
coming six months covers a total of ten wells in all three regions. In
accordance with our strategic plan, our rate of investment is high, but will

decrease in 2011."
