WorleyParsons (WOR) Wins Russian Project

Sakhalin 1 Offshore Contract Win:

Worley’s 49% owned Russian associate Sakhneftegaz Engineering (SNE) has won the engineering, procurement and support services contract for the Exxon operated Sakhalin 1 Arkutan-Dagi offshore platform.

Modest Revenue Stream:

SNE expects to generate $28m in revenue from the contract in calendar 2008, and around $150m over five years. The impact on WOR is therefore likely to be modest. * Technically Challenging Project:

The project involves one of the largest float over platforms ever designed. It will be in sub-arctic waters, which we suspect will not decrease the degree of difficulty. If WOR is successful in executing this project we would expect that the expertise developed could be replicated in a number of very large projects over the next few years.
