ExxonMobil Signs a New Production Sharing Contract in Indonesia



    Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) subsidiary, ExxonMobil
    Exploration and Production Indonesia (Mandar) Limited, has signed a
    Production Sharing Contract (PSC) with the government of Indonesia for
    the Mandar block located in the Makassar Straits offshore West
    Sulawesi. This contract will enable exploration activities on the
    block to begin. ExxonMobil was announced the successful bidder for the
    Mandar block in the 2006 Indonesian Exploration Tender Round by the
    government of Indonesia with a 100 percent participating interest.

    The Mandar block, which comprises 1 million acres (4,200 square
    kilometers), is located in the Southern Makassar Basin in water depths
    ranging from the coastline to more than 6,000 feet (2,000 meters).

    "The Mandar block augments ExxonMobil's acreage position in the
    Makassar Straits where we have a PSC in place for the Surumana block
    from the previous tender round," said Steve Greenlee, vice president
    of ExxonMobil Exploration Company.

    Subsidiaries and predecessors of Exxon Mobil Corporation have been
    operating in Indonesia for more than 100 years. Since 1968, ExxonMobil
    companies have invested more than $17 billion in the country.
