Pemex deepwater tie-up auction cancelled
Mexico Pemex had been seeking a JV to exploit the super-tight crude of the area, but no companies expressed an interest in participating in the auction, scheduled for January 31.
The state oil company had initially planned a 49% share in the proposed JV, but in November scaled back this figure to 40%.
The National Hydrocarbons Commission had anticipated the Maximino-Nobilis asset to begin commercial production by 2024 and see a peak output of 174,000 boepd, with 265 mcf (7.5 mcm) per day of gas brought on line two years later.
