A U.S. independent has commenced an appraisal program at its Sureste Basin Field in Mexico's Bay of Campeche. The historic opening of Mexico's oil and gas sector to private investment and international companies in 2014 ended Pemex's 76-year monopoly. Excitement ran high as it meant new areas for E&P. While the results of the first bid round held in 2015 were not as stellar as hoped for, a consortium comprising Sierra Oil and Gas, Talos Energy and Premier Oil walked away with the keys to two of the 14 shallow-water areas offered by the country.
