Mexico’s Round Two deepwater phase poised for success
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Mexico has debuted its latest deepwater licensing round - an assortment of thirty blocks across four different basins. The fiscal terms are almost identical to the ones used in the successful Round One deepwater phase. These terms are competitive against rivals such as the US GoM and Brazil, which is very important given the competition for capital due to low oil prices. We expect explorers to hone in on the Perdido and Salinas Sureste basins, the crown jewels of the round.
