石油设备网讯 据世界能源网2019年3月31日墨西哥城报道，美国墨菲勘探和生产公司、西班牙雷普索尔公司和马来西亚国家石油公司（马国油）的高管们纷纷表示，尽管墨西哥存在政治不确定性，但他们预计将在2019年和2020年在极具发展前景的墨西哥深海地区钻数口初探井。
墨菲公司负责勘探作业的总经理Adam Seitchik在墨西哥坎佩切州德尔卡门市举办的墨西哥浅层与深水博览会的一次小组讨论会上说：“关于墨西哥能源改革可能会发生什么，外界可能有很多猜测，但最终我们还是获得了钻探许可证。墨菲公司希望在完成对其最近发现的切卢拉深水油田的进一步分析后能在2020年夏天之前继续进行钻探活动。”
Seitchik称：“在全球范围内，像墨西哥这样低风险、高资源潜力的国家已经寥寥无几。”
雷普索尔墨西哥地区经理塞尔吉奥•利玛多在小组会议上表示：“墨西哥可能是雷普索尔公司在美洲最重要的勘探区域。”雷普索尔公司在墨西哥有6个海上区块。
利马多说：“雷普索尔公司在墨西哥所做的工作在其他任何地方都无法复制。雷普索尔公司预计明年将在墨西哥钻取两口探井。
马国油（马拉西亚国家石油公司）墨西哥勘探主管Puteri Nurlina表示，墨西哥是马国油的一个核心战略地区。她补充称：“墨西哥有巨大的机遇，这反映在我们公司拥有的区块数量上。马国油在墨西哥目前拥有10个区块，是仅次于墨西哥国家石油公司（Pemex）的最大区块拥有者。作为投标承诺的一部分，马国油及其合作伙伴已承诺钻探9口海上探井。
墨西哥国家碳氢化合物委员会说，马国油将在今年钻第一口井，这是萨利纳盆地的首口盐下初探井。Nurlina补充说，该公司明年预计将钻更多的探井。

Murphy, Repsol, Petronas to drill several wildcat wells in Mexico in 2019-20
Murphy Exploration and Production, Repsol and Petronas expect to drill exploratory wells in 2019 and 2020 in Mexico's highly prospective deepwater despite the political uncertainties in the country, executives said Thursday.
"There might be a lot of speculation, off news out there, on what might happen with the energy reform, but at the end of the day, we were able to get our permits to drill," Adam Seitchik, Murphy's exploration general manager, said at a panel discussion.
Murphy hopes to continue drilling activities by the summer of 2020 after completing additional analysis on its recent Cholula deepwater discovery, Seitchik said at the Shallow & Deepwater Mexico Expo in Ciudad del Carmen in Campeche state.
"There were few options globally with low-risk and high resource potential like Mexico," Seitchik said.
"Mexico is probably Repsol's most important exploration acreage in the Americas," Sergio Limardo, Repsol's Mexico country manager, said at the panel. The company has six offshore blocks in Mexico.
"The work the company is doing in Mexico isn't replicated anywhere else," Limardo said. Repsol expects to drill two exploration wells next year in Mexico, he added.
Mexico is a core strategic place for Petronas, said Petronas 's head of exploration in Mexico, Puteri Nurlina. "There are big opportunities in Mexico, and that is reflected in the number of blocks our company has," she added.
With 10 blocks, Petronas is the largest acreage holder in Mexico after state oil company Pemex. The company and its partners have pledged to drill nine offshore exploration wells as part of its bidding commitments.
In 2019, the company will drill its first well, the first pre-salt wildcat in the Salina Basin, according to Mexico's National Hydrocarbon Commission. In 2020, the company expects to drill additional wells, Nurlina added.
