Area 4 comprises the proven but undeveloped Ichalkil and Pokoch fields and is located in the Bay of Campeche at water depths of 100 to 150 feet, the release said. Fieldwood will serve as operator of Area 4 and has partnered with PetroBal, S.A.P.I. de C.V., a subsidiary of Grupo Bal, a Mexican conglomerate engaged in the mining, financial, retail and educational industries.
