Director of Sodra, effective from 2nd October,following
the company's EGM.

United Kingdom, Australia, Pakistan and India and its
current market capitalisation is over #218 million.

Cairns is a fellow of the Institute of Petroleum and a
member of The Society of Petroleum Engineers.

Sodra, whose convertible shares are quoted on the
Alternative Investment Market ("AIM") of the London Stock
Exchange and the New Market of the Stockholm Stock
Exchange, was formed in 1998 when Swedish company Lundin
Oil AB transferred its Falklands drilling licence into
the new company coinciding with a placing of AIM quoted
convertible shares.  The company has commenced
exploratory drilling on its first well following
encouraging reports from two of the three wells already
drilled offshore the Falklands.

Following Dr Cairns' appointment, further details will be
announced in accordance with rule 16.19(c) of the AIM
rules for companies.
