The Pemex-operated Cahua 1 NFW in the AE-0009-M-Tucoo-Xaxamani-01 contract area detected condensate and natural gas reserves while drilling operations were underway, according to industry sources in October 2017. No test results were available for the well, which reached a TD of 2,984m (2,973m TVD) on 8 August 2017. The well has however, been classified as a producer, indicating that the reserves are commercial. The NFW was spudded on 14 June 2017 with the "Chihuahua" jack-up rig. Cahua targeted 38 MMboe in prospective resources in the Pliocene, while original PTD was 3,091m. More exploration work in the contract area is planned after the Comision Nacional de Hidrocarburos (CNH) granted Pemex an additional two-year exploration period for the AE-0009-M-Tucoo-Xaxamani-01 Block (see related Scout articles). <P />
