for a total of US$720 million.
The project financing was secured by a

FPSO. The financing will become non-recourse once the FPSO is

variable interest cost of LIBOR plus 1.65%.
FPSO Liza is owned and will be operated by SBM
Offshore. The lease and operate contract includes an initial period
of ten years with extension options up to an additional ten years.
The FPSO is designed to produce up to 120,000 barrels of oil per
day, will have associated gas treatment capacity of circa 170
million cubic feet per day and water injection capacity of circa
200,000 barrels per day. The converted Very Large Crude Carrier
(VLCC) FPSO will be spread moored at the Liza field located in the
Stabroek block circa 200 kilometers offshore Guyana, in water depth
of 1,525 meters and will be able to store 1.6 million barrels of
crude oil. Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited is the
