In May of this year, an ExxonMobil team of explorers and drillers successfully brought in the Liza 1 well 120 miles off the coast of the South American nation of Guyana. Liza is a true frontier wildcat well – a significant discovery, and the first drilled on a block spanning 6.6 million acres. The story of how technology, talent and experience brought about a great outcome begins on page 15. Continuing this issue’s focus on the challenges of exploration, on page 9 is an in-depth interview with Steve Greenlee, president of ExxonMobil Exploration Company. Greenlee discusses, among other topics, the company’s integrated approach to adding high-quality

standard. The new rules could create significant problems, and a story on page 13 provides details. A profile of the work special- ized ExxonMobil procurement, real estate, information technol- ogy and other teams conduct to support our operations in remote areas starts on page 21. Plus, Delivering information (page 25), Bass Strait update (page 29) and Mobil 1 in Singapore (page 34). We hope you enjoy this issue of The Lamp .
