In March 2020, Pemex was testing 4,890 bo/d in the Cibix 1001 NPW, located on the AE-0056 Block (officially AE-0056-2M-Mezcalapa-06), in the Pilar Reforma-Akal Basin. TD was reached in January 2020, while completion is expected by 30 April 2020.At last report, in mid-November 2019, Pemex was drilling below 4,596m in Cibix 1001. On 15 September 2019, Pemex suspended the well for three days. Before the suspension, the well reached 1,906m, where 13-3/8" casing was set. Since operations continued once more, 9-5/8" casing was set at 3,700m, while 7" casing is planned for 4,777m. The well spudded in late August 2019. Pemex mobilised the "ICMA-876" rig on 28 July 2019, to spud Cibix 1001. The "S" type directional well has a PTD of 4,777m (3,850m PTVD), however the well may sidetrack, which will have final depths of 5,039m (PTD) and 3,500m (PTVD). Cibix 1001 is targeting prospective resources of 29 MMboe and has a 29% chance geological success. Late Miocene targets are located at intervals of 4,160-4,470m and 4,560-4,777m. Industry sources indicate the "ICMA-876" rig will move on to the planned Xinich 1 NFW, once operations on Cibix 1001 are complete.The spudding of Cibix 1001 is in addition to a previously approved planned base three-well AE-0056 programme outlined in May 2019. That programme included the already drilled Tokal 101, and the Pachil 1 (spud 30 September 2019, see related article) and Platao 1 base scenario wells, along with additional scenario wells Cibix 101, Macate 1, Nexali 1, Lumal 1 and Pache 101.Cibix 1 was drilled in 2017. It was targeting 34 MMboe of reserves and tested 3,638 bo/d and 8.61 MMcfg/d in 2018. That well had Late Miocene objectives at the depths of 2,410m and 2,860m. The Cibix Field is located to the north of the shut-in Navegante Field. Navegante was discovered in 2012 with the Navegante 1 NFW. OCIP was estimated at 29.13 MMbo and OGIP estimated at 81.44 Bcfg.Pemex was awarded AE-0056 as part of Round 0 in 2014, it is expected to expire in 2019. In preparation for AE-0056 expiration, on 28 August 2019, the CNH created new contracts, AE-0140-Comalcalco and AE-0141-Comalcalco, which cover AE-0056, as part of a wider reconfiguration of a swathe of Round 0 blocks. Once the AE-0056 drilling programme is completed, that block will be relinquished with exploration rights transferred to the new blocks. Cibix 1001 will then be located on AE-0141-Comalcalco.
