Exxon Mobil Corp. has applied to prequalify for four offshore oil blocks in Liberia, the West African country's state oil regulator said in a statement on Sunday.
Once prequalified, Exxon will be invited to negotiate a Petroleum Sharing Agreement for Blocks 15, 16, 22, and 24 in the Liberia Basin, the Liberia Petroleum Regulatory Authority said.
