en.Wedoany.com Reported - Grupo Carso has signed a binding agreement with TotalEnergies to acquire the latter's entire 30% stake in Block 30, located offshore in Mexico's Isthmus Saline Basin.
The acquisition will be carried out through Zamajal's subsidiary Mx Dlta Nrg 1, in which Grupo Carso holds an 80% interest, with Control Empresarial de Capitales holding the remaining 20%.
Harbour Energy, the operator of Block 30, continues to hold a 70% stake, which remains unchanged upon completion of the transaction. At that point, Harbour Energy and Mx Dlta Nrg 1 will be the only two partners in the production sharing contract.
Block 30 is located in shallow waters offshore Mexico, approximately 29 kilometers from the coast, and contains the Kan discovery. The production sharing contract covers an area of 30.5 square kilometers in the Isthmus Saline Basin, targeting light crude oil production.
The block was awarded in April 2018 by Mexico's then National Hydrocarbons Commission following an international bidding round. The initial consortium included Premier Oil, Deutsche Erdoel Mexico (now Harbour Energy), and SEP Block 30 (now TotalEnergies), with a contract term of 25 years.
Completion of the transaction is subject to obtaining necessary government approvals.
