Eni has opted to drill out a different prospect than originally planned on its Area 7 block off Mexico, with the Italian operator now planning to start work at the Ehecatl-1EXP target in November.
The operator had previously planned to drill either the Yatzil-1EXP or Calakmul-1EXP prospects, both Lower Miocene objectives.
Mexico’s National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH) regulator has approved the changes to the exploration plan, which come after Eni upped its spending plans.
