The firm period has been extended to Q3 2020 (from Q3 2015), with options for additional two years.
The contract has a total revenue value of USD 300 million including options, up from USD 100 million under the previous contract. The FPSO will undergo a life-extension upgrade with an estimated capex of USD 30 million. The figures for revenue and capex are listed on a 100% basis.
