Pemex pushes to retain its deepwater prize in the Gulf

摘要

Pemex is focused on continuing with its high-profile program of deepwater drilling in the Mexican sector of the Gulf, despite the ending of its state monopoly. Under the much-publicized Round Zero proposals, the company is facing major changes to its portfolio after nominating its preferred areas of future operations in the Gulf and onshore. What is left will be up for grabs for the growing queue of new players wanting to compete in the country's changed upstream industry. A decision on what Pemex can keep and what must go is expected before the end of September.
