DORIS, the provider of engineering and project management services to the oil and gas and renewables industries, has secured work on the Block 29 development in Mexico. The agreement has been signed with Repsol Exploración México, a subsidiary of Repsol, for the execution of the conceptual engineering of the Submarine Production System (SPS) and Subsea Umbilical, Riser, and Flowline (SURF).
Block 29 is located in the offshore Salina Basin in the Gulf of Mexico, approximately 54.7 miles from the state of Tabasco. It occupies an area of 1,256 square miles. The study will include two fields, located 9.9 miles apart in water depths ranging from 1,500 to 1,970 feet.
The fields, Polok and Chinwol, were the first deepwater oil discoveries made by an international oil company in Mexico. The Polok-1 exploration well was drilled to a total depth of 8,595 feet and encountered more than 656 feet of net oil pay from two Lower Miocene zones. The Chinwol-1 exploration well was drilled to a total depth of 6,069 feet and encountered more than 492 feet of net oil pay from three Lower Pliocene zones.
Block 29 is operated by Repsol Exploración Mexico with a 30% stake, while PCCMO owns 28.33%, Wintershall Dea 25% and PTTEP Mexico E&P the remaining 16.67%.
