Independent Auditor’s Report

To theManagement of Alba Plant LLC:

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Alba Plant LLC, which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2017.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position at December 31, 2017, and the results of its operations and itscash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2017 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of matter

As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the Company has entered into significant transactions with certain related parties. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Exhibit 99.9

Other Matter

The accompanying balance sheet of Alba Plant LLC as of December 31, 2018, and the related statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended are presented for purposes of complying with Rule 3-09 of SEC Regulation S-X; however, Rule 3-09 does not require the 2018 financial statements to be audited and they were not audited, reviewed, or compiled by us and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on them.

December 31, 2018 (unaudited), 2017 and 2016

1. Organization and Nature of Business

Alba Plant LLC (the “Company”) is an exempted limited liability company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The purposes of the Company are (i) to construct, own, operate and maintain the Alba Liquefied Petroleum Gas Plant (“the plant”); (ii) to further process the natural gas produced under the Alba Production Sharing Contract (“Alba PSC”); (iii) to recover additional condensate; (iv) to separate butane and propane from the natural gas and process them into gas liquids; (v) to store the liquid hydrocarbons processed; (vi) to sell all liquid hydrocarbons produced by the plant; and (vii) to finance such activities on terms the Company determines to be appropriate. The Company commenced commercial operations in January 1997. Sociedad Nacional de Gas de Guinea Ecuatorial (“Sonagas”) has a 20% ownership in the Company with the remaining 80% owned by Alba Associates LLC. The ownership interest in Alba Associates LLC is as follows as of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016:

Samedan of North Africa, Inc. ("Samedan")	34.79166%
Marathon E.G. LPG Limited ("EG LPG")	23.45834
Marathon E.G. Alba Limited ("EG Alba")	19.08334
Marathon E.G. Production Limited ("MEGPL")	11.45833
Marathon E.G. Offshore Limited ("EG Offshore")	11.20833
	100.00000%

The Equatorial Guinea Government is entitled to a 10% interest in the Company’s annual net profit, as defined in the Processing and Marketing Agreement (“PMA”) between The Republic of Equatorial Guinea and the Company dated January 22, 1996.

The Company has no employees, and as such has entered into an agreement with MEGPL to provide certain operating, general and administrative services on behalf of the Company (Note 6).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

These financial statements, including notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The December 31, 2018 financial statements, including notes are presented as unaudited.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the respective reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The functional currency applicable to the Company is the U.S dollar. Current assets and current liabilities denominated in other currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the applicable rate on the

7

Alba Plant LLC

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2018 (unaudited), 2017 and 2016

balance sheet date, and the resulting unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are recorded in the statement of income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Includes cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Receivables less Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Receivables recorded in the financial statements represent bona fide claims against debtors, or other charges arising on or before the balance sheet date. All receivables have been appropriately reduced to their estimated net realizable value. All receivables are recorded at the invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. An allowance for receivables is created with a charge directly to bad debt expense when it becomes probable the receivables will not be collected. No allowance has been recorded as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Inventory

Materials and supplies inventory is valued at weighted average cost and reviewed periodically for obsolescence or impairment when market conditions indicate. Condensate, propane, and butane inventories are recorded at weighted average cost and carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Facility Cost

Facility cost represents the cost of the plant including related extraction components, piping and other equipment, and includes the cost of related engineering and design services and installation materials and labor. Facility costs are primarily depreciated on a straight-line basis. In 2016, the anticipated commercial life of the Alba PSC was extended as a result of the installation of a new compression platform. Accordingly, the Company extended the estimated remaining life of the plant for depreciation purposes from 2026 to 2034.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals, betterments and major repairs that materially extend the life of the plant are capitalized.

We evaluate the plant including related extraction components, piping and other equipment, for impairment of value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If the value from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is anticipated to be less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Assets deemed to be impaired are written down to their fair value, as determined by discounted future net cash flows or, if available, comparable market value.

Under the provisions of the PMA, the Company is not legally obligated to dismantle the plant and restore the Alba site, and as such, no asset retirement obligation has been recorded for these facilities.

Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The realization of deferred tax assets is assessed periodically based on

8

Alba Plant LLC

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2018 (unaudited), 2017 and 2016

several interrelated factors. These factors include the Company’s expectation to generate sufficient future taxable income including tax credits, and operating loss carryforwards. Valuation allowances are recorded against a deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We use the liability method in determining our provision and liabilities for our income taxes, under which current and deferred tax liabilities and assets are recorded in accordance with enacted tax laws and rates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when title is transferred to customers, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Costs associated with revenues are recorded in direct operating costs.

Concentration of Credit Risk

During 2018, substantially all of the LPG products were sold to two third-party purchasers, Vitol S.A. and Philia Trading Pte. Ltd. During 2017 and 2016, substantially all of the LPG products were sold to an individual third-party purchaser. Additionally, all of the condensate was sold to a related party. This concentration of customers may impact the Company’s credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that these entities may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions.

3. Accounting Standards

Not Yet Adopted

Revenue recognition standard

In May 2014 and August 2015, the FASB issued an update that supersedes the existing revenue recognition requirements. This standard includes a five-step revenue recognition model to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Among other things, the standard requires enhanced disclosures about revenue, provides guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively and improves guidance for multiple-element arrangements. We will adopt this standard in 2019. Upon adoption the standard shall be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (“full retrospective method”) or with the cumulative effect of initially applying the update recognized at the date of initial application (“modified retrospective method”). We plan to adopt this new standard using the modified retrospective method. We continue to assess our contracts that will be subject to this standard and the impact it will have on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We plan to provide the disclosures required by this standard, such as key sources of revenues from transactions with customers, disaggregated revenue information, and significant accounting estimates and judgments, upon adoption.

Lease accounting standard

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new lease accounting standard, which requires lessees to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on the balance sheet as a right of use asset and lease liability. Short-term leases can continue being accounted for off balance sheet based on a policy election. This standard does not apply to leases to explore for or use minerals, oil, natural gas and similar non-regenerative resources, including the intangible right to explore for those natural resources and rights to use the land in which those natural resources are contained. This standard is effective

9

Alba Plant LLC

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2018 (unaudited), 2017 and 2016

for us in the first quarter of 2020 and shall be applied using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We will apply practical expedients provided in the standard that allow, amongst others, not to reassess contracts that commenced or expired prior to the effective date. We will elect a policy not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities related to short-term leases.

In July 2018, the FASB issued a new transition option that allows entities to adopt the new lease accounting standard using the modified retrospective transition method by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption rather than in the earliest period presented. We will elect this new transition option and continue to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, Leases, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption.

We continue to evaluate our contracts and are gathering the necessary data to determine the financial impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. While we have yet to finalize the estimated impact of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements, the adoption is anticipated to result in an increase in both assets and liabilities related to our leases.

Financial instruments - credit losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standards update that changes the impairment model for trade receivables, net investments in leases, debt securities, loans and certain other instruments. The standard requires the use of a forward-looking “expected loss” model as opposed to the current “incurred loss” model. This standard is effective for us in 2020 and will be adopted on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the adoption period. Early adoption is permitted starting January 2019. We are evaluating the provisions of this accounting standards update and assessing the impact, if any, it may have on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Recently Adopted

Classification in the statement of cash flows

In August 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standards update which seeks to reduce the existing diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. We adopted this standard in 2018 on a retrospective basis with no significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
