АЗЕРБАЙДЖАН (на англ. яз.) *** Jan. 24, 2006, 12:02AM Exxon Mobil to exit Azerbaijan fields Bloomberg News Exxon Mobil Corp. will pay a $50 million claim after refusing to continue drilling at two offshore fields in the Azeri sector of the Caspian Sea. Exxon Mobil will pay $32 million to exit exploration of the Zafar-Mashal deposit and $18 million to stop work at the Nakhichevan deposit, an official at the press office of the State Oil Co. of Azerbaijan said Monday. The official declined to be identified in line with company policy. Exxon Mobil spokeswoman Vafa Asadova confirmed Monday that the Irving-based company had reached settlements with Azerbaijan over the fields. Exxon was scheduled to drill second wells at both blocks after the first wells didn't discover commercially viable reserves. London-based BP, Europe's biggest oil company, leads a group that includes Exxon Mobil and is developing the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli field, the biggest source of oil in Azerbaijan. International companies are exploring the Caspian Sea, which may have oil reserves second only to the Middle East, after oil prices doubled in the past five years. [URL: - ] |
