Despite significant potential in the Mexican Gulf of Mexico, with proven 1P, 2P and 3P reserves of around 80 BBOE, since 2007, production began to decline from the mature fields and new fields were slow to come on stream. The 2017 Zama discovery, operated by Talos Energy, followed by many other discoveries, was the first to prove the importance of utilizing modern, high fidelity seismic processing to realize the potential of the extremely prolific Sureste Salt Basin. Additional structural and stratigraphic traps identified with the 2017 merged and reprocessed 3D seismic dataset, together with the recent success stories around the globe associated with stratigraphic traps defined with modern seismic data, indicate that this area holds huge future potential and it now has the required seismic image to uncover significant accumulations.
