Mexican state-oil producer Pemex will look for tie-ups in the Ayatsil-Tekel-Utsil, and Chicontepec fields, as well as in seven onshore areas next year, according to a published document Nov. 3. Pemex’s 2016-2021 business plan will seek partners to develop six shallow water areas in the northern region of the Gulf of Mexico in 2018. The company will also look to form partnerships to improve operations, or even reconfigure its Tula, Salamanca and Salina Cruz refineries in 2017-18. (Marine Link 11/03/16)
