holds a 30 percent interest, and CNOOC Nexen Petroleum Guyana Limited holds a 25 percent interest.
SBM Offshore CEO Bruno Chabas commented:
"We are proud that ExxonMobil has awarded SBM Offshore contracts for the Liza FPSO, starting with the front-end
engineering, which forms an important part of a significant offshore development project. Our dedicated team is looking
forward to cooperating closely with the ExxonMobil team to make this project a success. This award underlines the fact that
experience matters across the entire FPSO life cycle."
