Lundin Petroleum AB has commenced the second well in its 2012 Malaysian drilling campaign with the spud of Berangan 1 exploration well in SB303 Block, offshore Sabah, Malaysia.

The well will target hydrocarbons in mid-Miocene aged sands in a faulted anticline in an undrilled sub-basin 6 miles (10 kilometers) to the southeast of the Tarap gas discovery made by Lundin Petroleum in 2011.

A vertical well will be drilled to a depth of 5,577 feet (1700 meters) in approximately 230 feet (70 meters) water depth.
