HAMILTON, BERMUDA--(Marketwire - April 12, 2012) -
Teekay Offshore GP LLC, the general partner of Teekay
Offshore Partners L.P. (Teekay Offshore) (NYSE:TOO),
has declared a cash distribution of $0.5125 per unit
for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, an increase
of $0.0125 per unit, or 2.5 percent, from the
previous quarter. The cash distribution is payable on
May 14, 2012 to all unitholders of record on April
23, 2012.
"Today's distribution increase reflects the
additional cash flows resulting from the
Partnership's November 2011 acquisition of the
Piranema Spirit FPSO which is operating under a long-
term fixed-rate contract to Petrobras in Brazil,"
commented Peter Evensen, Chief Executive Officer of
Teekay GP LLC. "Given our expanded FPSO footprint,
the attractive near- and long-term fundamentals in
our core North Sea and Brazil markets and visible
growth opportunities available from our sponsor,
Teekay Corporation, we believe the Partnership
remains well positioned for future distributable cash
flow growth."
