We create energy
In the Americas we are mainly active in hydrocarbon exploration and production and in the Refining & Marketing and chemicals sector. We have put in place the Upstream Area 1 project in Mexico: we have developed several community support initiatives in the nearby area. In addition, the new oil discovery on the Saasken Exploration Prospect in Block 10 is opening a potential commercial outcome of Block 10 since several other prospects located nearby may be clustered in a synergic development.
Area 1 in Campeche Bay
We acquired Area 1 in a competitive bid round in 2015 and in 2018 we successfully completed the appraisal campaign. In July 2019, we launched the early production phase at the offshore field in Miztón, located in Area 1. Full production of the field began in the fourth quarter of 2021.
