Rumours are rife that Pemex would be keen to take over the Zama discovery from Talos, a substantial oil find made 2 years ago in the offshore Sureste Basin and the 1st by a foreign company since the oil sector was nationalised decades ago. The move is amidst President Obrador's keenness to return more control of Mexico's energy sector to Pemex, but also comes as a Talos request for a 2-year extension to its rights was approved by the CNH.   Zama lies in CNH-RO1-LO1-A7/2015, in which Talos could also explore the Xlapak or Pok-A-Tok prospects in partnership with Wintershall Dea + Premier. Pemex runs adjacent AE-0005-2M-Amoca-Yaxche-03, in which Zama is thought to extend (yet to be proven).   Of note, zama is the Maya word for dawn.
