Report summary

The deepwater phase of Round One will close on 5 December 2016 with 10 exploration blocks on offer. Twenty-six companies, including every major deepwater player, have prequalified, a clear sign of interest given the current buyer's market for exploration acreage. We assessed the subsurface potential and risks of the two areas where the blocks are clustered: the Perdido region of the Sabinas-Rio Grande basin and the Salina del Istmo region of the Salinas-Sureste basin.

Analogue comparison of Perdido and Salinas-Sureste blocks with US GoM fields
Perdido has been de-risked but the potential of Salinas-Sureste is untested
- Sabinas-Rio Grande basin (Perdido Area)
  - Sabinas-Rio Grande (Perdido Area) block characterisations
- Salinas-Sureste basin (Salina del Istmo region)
  - Salinas-Sureste block characterisation
  - Summary of petroleum system risks by basin
- Trion's competitive economics demonstrate the potential of Perdido
  - Trion's IRR depending on additional royalty bid (0-20%) and Brent price
  - Fiscal benchmarking of Trion
- We expect at least seven out of the 10 blocks to be awarded in December
