PEMEX suspended as an oil and gas discovery the Tema 1EXP subsalt, directional new-field wildcat (NFW) in the AE-0009-3M-Tucoo-Xaxamani-01 (AE-0148-Uchukil) entitlement block during September 2019 after reaching a final total depth (TD) of 4,245 m. The CNH reported the well was a discovery on 22 October 2019 without any details.    The NFW was spudded on 15 April 2019.        The      NFW had a proposed total depth (PTD) of 4,105 m measured depth (MD) and      3,780 m true vertical depth (TVD) and was targeting the Lower Pliocene and      Lower Miocene.   The      well traversed a 500 m salt canopy in the Miocene section at approximately      2,200 m.   The      Lower Pliocene target is located from 1,929 m to 1,945 m just above the      salt canopy and the Lower Miocene target is located below the salt canopy      from 3,683 m to 3,716 m.   The      Cantarell II J/U drilled the well in a water depth of 37 m.   The      NFW is located in the west-central area of the block approximately 6.7 km      north-east of the Octli 1EXP      new-field wildcat (NFW) oil and gas discovery completed in August 2017 and      is one of the 20 fields PEMEX has selected for fast track development.   The      trap is a combination trap associated with the salt canopy and sandstone      conditions related to the north-west to south-east trending fan-channel      systems in this area of the basin. It is fault separated from the Octli      discovery.  The      estimated drilling cost for the well is approximately USD 30 million and      unrisked prospective resources were estimated to be 32 MMboe.   On 24      January 2019, the CNH approved the drilling permit request submitted by      PEMEX to drill the Tema 1EXP subsalt, directional new-field wildcat (NFW)      in the AE-0009-2M-Tucoo-Xaxamani-01      entitlement block      SENER awarded the AE-0009-3M-Tucoo-Xaxamani-01 entitlement to Pemex 100% through Ronda 0 on 27 August 2014. The entitlement was relinquished on 27 August 2019 and superseded by the AE-0148-Uchukil entitlement. The block covers an official area of 1,128.06 sq km.     On 28 August 2017, PEMEX suspended as an oil and gas discovery the Octli 1EXP vertical new-field wildcat (NFW) in the AE-0009 block. PEMEX published on 27 October 2017 that the well tested 3,159 bo/d and 1.5 MMcfg/d from the Lower Pliocene from 1,755 m to 1,766 m. The NFW reached a total depth (TD) of 2,155 m measured depth (MD) and PEMEX subsequently drilled a south-westerly, updip, geological side-track to a total depth (TD) of 2,580 m measured depth (MD) found additional reservoirs but the reservoir tested in the discovery well was shaled out. PEMEX reported it has a total of eight separate reservoirs in the two boreholes. The NFW was spudded on 10 May 2017. The well had a proposed total depth (PTD) of 2,105 m. The well was targeting two zones in the Pliocene as the primary objective. The âCantarell Iâ J/U drilled the well in an estimated water depth of 24 m. The structure is an anticline related to salt intrusion. PEMEX originally estimated unrisked resources for the prospect are 41 MMboe and risked 3P resources were 15 MMboe. On 1 January 2019 the CNH reported official 3P reserves for the discovery of 41.01 MMboe.
