PEMEX plugged and abandoned dry the Ketsin 1EXP new-field wildcat (NFW) in the AE-0079 block in the Deep Water Gulf of Mexico Basin on 14 August 2018 after reaching a total depth (TD) of 7,430 m.Â  The NFW was spudded on 24 May 2018. Â     The NFW had a proposed total depth      (PTD) of 7,430 m and the Eocene Wilcox Formation was the primary objective.      Â     PEMEX      utilized the âLa Muralla IVâ S/S to drill the well in a water depth of 2,425      m.    The      well is located in the north central part of the most westerly area of the      block about 17.8 km west of the Melanocetus 1 that was plugged and      abandoned dry by PEMEX in January 2016.Â       PEMEX had its modified exploration plans approved on 10 October      2017 for the block which included the drilling of one firm commitment well.    The      Ketsin prospect had estimated prospective resources of 248 MMboe.Â  The drilling cost for the well was      estimated to be USD 99.29 million at 1USD = 18.3 MXN and the completion      cost was estimated to be USD 8.47 million.    The      CNH issued a permit to drill the well on 27 February 2018.     PEMEX plugged and abandoned with oil and gas shows the Melanocetus 1 new-field wildcat (NFW) in the AE-0079 block in the Deep Water Gulf of Mexico Basin on 31 January 2016 at a final total depth (TD) of 4,920 m.Â  The CNH reported the well as a non-commercial oil producer after some type of testing took place in the interval 4,485 m to 4,530 m.Â  It is assumed that some oil and gas shows were encountered for testing to take place.Â  The NFW was spudded on 1 November 2015. The well had a proposed total depth (PTD) of 5,030 m. The Oligocene Formation was the primary objective in a northwest southeast oriented structural objective. The âCentenarioâ S/S drilled the well in a water depth of 2,830 m.    SENER granted the AE-0079-2M-Cinturon Plegado Perdido-05 Entitlement to PEMEX 100% through Ronda 0 on 27 August 2014. The block covers an approximate area of 634.32 sq km.
