 Exxon Mobil is the operator for the Production Sharing Agreement
      (PSA) for exploration of an offshore block in the Azerbaijan
      sector of the Caspian Sea. Exxon Mobil's Executive Vice President
      Bill Scoggins signed the contract along with Natig Aliyev, President
      of SOCAR (State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic).
 
 The block contains the Savalan, Dalga, Lerik-Daniz and Janub
      prospects, covering an area of approximately 316 square miles
      (850 sq km). Exxon Mobil has a 30 percent interest in the block,
      SOCAR holds a 50 percent interest, and the remaining 20 percent
      has yet to be awarded. The PSA calls for a seismic program and
      two exploration wells to be completed over the first three years
      of the agreement.
