据OE网站2月25日报道，俄罗斯卢克石油公司(Lukoil)周五表示，已通过收购运营商控股公司，完成了对墨西哥4号区域项目50%运营权的收购。

拟议的收购于2021年7月首次宣布，当时卢克石油表示交易价值为4.35亿美元，加上截至交易完成日期在2021年产生的支出。

墨西哥当局于2022年2月3日批准了该交易。如先前宣布的那样，截至交易完成之日，交易价值为4.35亿美元，外加自2021年1月1日以来产生的支出（约 2.5 亿美元）。

该项目包括两个区块，总面积58平方公里，位于墨西哥湾近海42公里处。这些区块的海水深度为30米-45米。

两个油田——Ichalkil和Pokoch——位于这些区块内。这些油田的可采油气储量达5.64亿桶油当量，其中80%以上为原油。

这些油田从2021年第四季度开始生产，目前日均产量超过2.5万桶。该项目分三个阶段开发，最高日产量估计超过11.5万桶石油当量。该项目的合作伙伴是墨西哥企业集团GrupoBAL的石油和天然气子公司PetroBal，拥有剩余50%的权益。

该项目根据2016年签署的一项产量分成协议实施，协议期限为25年，有权延长至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.
