The Comision Nacional de Hidrocarburos (CNH), in February 2020, said that the Pemex-operated Hok 101 appraisal well, spudded on the AE-0019-M-Okom-02 Block (since reconfigured to AE-0154-Chalabil), discovered 26.6deg API oil in the Late Miocene. The discovery, however, is nominal, at nearly 1 MMbo, with some gas volumes. The contract is located off the Tabasco state coastline. The well is believed to have been completed in October 2019, as it had reached 3,093m in August 2019. The well spudded on 14 July 2019 with Seadrill partner, SeaMex's "West Courageous" jack-up rig.The Comision Nacional de Hidrocarburos (CNH), in July 2019, approved Pemex's petition to drill the well to investigate further the Hok structure. Hok 101 was targeting 45 MMboe in resources. The well, with a PTD of 3,093m, had the Miocene as the primary target.Previous to confirmation of the discovery, the CNH, in January 2020, approved Pemex's plan to develop the newly minted Hok Field, which will be carved out of the AE-0154-Chalabil contract. The field will harvest 16,000 bo/d and 25 MMcfg/d in 2023 via the Hok-A platform. The Hok 1 discovery well produced 2,775 bo/d and 1.5 MMcfg/d during tests in late 2017. The SeaMex "West Oberon" jack-up spudded the well on 1 February 2017 in a water depth of 17m. Drilling took place under the auspices of the Chalabil Project. Hok 1 is located 7.2km northwest of the Oktan 1A well, 9.2km southeast of the Kuzam 1 well and 18km southeast of Keluk 1. Hok 1 was targeting light oil with aims to incorporate 95 MMboe in new reserves.
