Mexico's Comision Nacional de Hidrocarburos (CNH), on behalf of the Mexican state, and the Roma Energy-led Bloque VC 01 consortium, on 27 April 2018 signed a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) for Area 6 in the Veracruz Basin. The Bloque VC 01 consortium includes subsidiary Roma Exploration and Production, Tubular Technology, Suministros Marinos e Industriales de Mexico, and Golfo Suplemento Latino. The 193 sq km tract was originally won by a Shandong-led consortium at Round 2.3 (CNH-R02-L03/2016) with a US$ 2.179 million tiebreaker bonus. The group, which also includes Sicoval and Nuevas Soluciones, failed to make the cash bonus payment before the signing ceremony in late 2017. The Roma led group was the second highest bidder at the process with an additional royalty rate of 40%, and additional investment factor of 1.5. Officials estimate that winning companies will invest up to US$ 2 billion and lift output by 73,000 bo/d and 350 MMcfg/d at Round 2.3 fields. CNH-R02-L03/2016 took place on 12 July 2017. Block 6 holds wet gas resources.
