STOCKHOLM, Sweden – Lundin Petroleum says a storm offshore Tunisia in March caused damage to a flowline connected to the Oudna field.

This resulted in operations being entirely shut in. Repair solutions to the flowline are under review, but if the damage is deemed uneconomic to repair, the field will be abandoned.
