Mexico’s energy regulator said on Aug. 24 that 26 companies had qualified to participate in the country’s deepwater oil tender in December, the jewel in the crown of a landmark energy sector opening.
Of the 26 companies that have qualified for the so-called Round 1.4 tender, 16 are operators, including state-owned oil giant Pemex, and 10 are financial partners, the National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH) said on Twitter.
Any consortia that form will be revealed on Nov. 28, the CNH said.
Among the qualifying companies are BHP Billiton, BP, Chevron, China Offshore Oil Corp., Eni ExxonMobil, Hess, Galp Energía, Inpex Corp., Lukoil, ONGC Videsh, Pemex, Repsol Shell, Statoil, Total and others.
