Offshore staff

HOUSTON -- ExxonMobil is seeking participants for its deepwater Surumana Exploration PSC in the Makassar Strait, offshore Indonesia.

According to brokers Indigo Pool, a subsidiary of Schlumberger, ExxonMobil is offering half its 80% working interest in the block.

One of several drill-ready, multi-billion boe prospects will be tested in Q4 2011 by the semisubmersible rig West Aquarius.

Indigo Pool says the primary play is defined by Tertiary carbonate build-ups deposited on extensional continental fault blocks.
