Statoil或考虑与Pemex合作进行深水开采活动

“We see opportunities to bid on deepwater farm-out agreements with Pemex if the terms and conditions are right,” said Tore Loseth, vice president of Statoil Exploration in the U.S. and Mexico, on the sidelines of an oil conference in Monterrey on June 10. “But we need to know more about how the process will run before we can properly evaluate these.”

Pemex and Mexico’s energy ministry announced plans last week to farm out the Trion field in the Gulf of Mexico -– an area believed to contain about 485 million barrels of reserves and estimated to cost $11 billion to develop. While the agreement will be in the form of a license, the details of the contract have yet to be spelled out.

Loseth declined to say whether Statoil plans to bid on the Trion field. The companies involved in the farm out should be announced in December, Pemex said.
