擬議的收購于2021年7月首次宣布，當(dāng)時盧克石油表示交易價值為4.35億美元，加上截至交易完成日期在2021年產(chǎn)生的支出。

墨西哥當(dāng)局于2022年2月3日批準了該交易。如先前宣布的那樣，截至交易完成之日，交易價值為4.35億美元，外加自2021年1月1日以來產(chǎn)生的支出（約 2.5 億美元）。

該項目包括兩個區(qū)塊，總面積58平方公里，位于墨西哥灣近海42公里處。這些區(qū)塊的海水深度為30米-45米。

兩個油田——Ichalkil和Pokoch——位于這些區(qū)塊內(nèi)。這些油田的可采油氣儲量達5.64億桶油當(dāng)量，其中80%以上為原油。

這些油田從2021年第四季度開始生產(chǎn)，目前日均產(chǎn)量超過2.5萬桶。該項目分三個階段開發(fā)，最高日產(chǎn)量估計超過11.5萬桶石油當(dāng)量。該項目的合作伙伴是墨西哥企業(yè)集團GrupoBAL的石油和天然氣子公司PetroBal，擁有剩余50%的權(quán)益。

該項目根據(jù)2016年簽署的一項產(chǎn)量分成協(xié)議實施，協(xié)議期限為25年，有權(quán)延長至10年。

Lukoil Wraps Buys 50% Stake in Shallow Water Area 4 Offshore Mexico

Russian oil company Lukoil said Friday it had completed the acquisition of the 50% operator interest in the Area 4 project in Mexico through the acquisition of the operator's holding company. 

The proposed acquisition was first announced in July 2021, when Lukoil said the transaction value was $435 million, plus expenditures incurred in 2021 as of the transaction completion date.

The Mexican authorities approved the deal on February 3, 2022. As previously announced, the transaction value amounted to $435 million plus expenditures incurred since January 1, 2021, as of the transaction completion date (about $250 million).

The project includes two blocks, 58 square kilometers in total, which are located 42 kilometers offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. The sea depth at the blocks is 30-45 meters. Two oil fields - Ichalkil and Pokoch - are located within the blocks. The recoverable hydrocarbon reserves of the fields amount to 564 million barrels of oil equivalent, more than 80% of which is crude oil.

Production at the fields started in the fourth quarter of 2021, and the current average daily oil production exceeds 25 thousand barrels. The project is developed in three phases, with a peak daily production rate estimated to be more than 115 thousand barrels of oil equivalent. The partner in the project is PetroBal, the oil and gas subsidiary of Mexican conglomerate GrupoBAL, with the remaining 50% interest.

The project is implemented under a production sharing agreement, which was signed in 2016 for a period of 25 years with the right for an extension for up to 10 years.
