LATIJNS-AMERIKA

Latijns-Amerika houdt dit jaar een recordaantal olieveilingen

April 4, 2018 - Latijns-Amerika zal dit jaar de meeste licentierondes in zijn geschiedenis houden. 1.100 olie- en gasblokken gaan voor buitenlandse investeerders open.

Wood Mackenzie, an energy consultancy, expects intense exploration activity in deepwater basins around Brazil, Argentina and Mexico.

“Sizeable reserves, project optimisation and good productivity have been driving deepwater costs down,” said Horacio Cuenca, research director for Latin America at Wood Mackenzie.

“2018 will certainly be a transformative year for the region, both economically and politically,” Cuenca said.

Mexico started the year attracting $93 billion in investment pledges and followed with another round securing over $8 billion. In March, Brazil added $2.4 billion to about $30 billion from an October bidding round.

Colombia, Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina will follow with auctions through the year, with keen interest expected from the majors and Asian national oil companies.
