Position yourself on the front lines for the future of oil and gas exploration and development in Mexico. A 2nd round of bids has just been announced offering 15 exploration and production blocks in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico along the coast of Veracruz, Tabasco and Campeche states. Ranging from 180 square miles to 375 square miles in size and containing mostly light oil, these will be bid out in March 2017 for 30-year production sharing contracts with hopes to draw investments of about $750 million per block.
