Mexico
Harbour Energy is one of the leading international upstream companies in Mexico, with interests offshore and onshore and comprising all phases of the E&P value chain with our exploration, development and production assets.
Hokchi
The shallow water Hokchi field, operated by Hokchi Energy, the Mexican subsidiary of Pan American Energy, is developed with two offshore platforms connected via pipeline to an onshore processing facility. Hokchi commenced production in 2020 and is Harbour Energy’s largest producing asset in Mexico. Harbour Energy acquired its 37% non-operated interest in Hokchi through its acquisition of the Wintershall Dea asset portfolio in 2024,
Ogarrio
Harbour Energy has a 50% operated interest in Ogarrio, a mature onshore oil field covering more than 150 square kilometres, located in the state of Tabasco. The Mexican state company Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) is a partner and holds the remaining share.
To date more than 500 wells have been drilled on the Ogarrio field, with 80 wells currently active. A waterflood project to improve the overall recovery from the field has been initiated, with FEED commencing in 2024.
Zama
Harbour Energy has a 32.2% non-operated interest in Zama, located in shallow water in the Sureste basin and is operated by Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex).
The Zama oil field was discovered in 2017 and appraised in 2018 and 2019. The proposed development concept includes two offshore platforms and onshore facilities at Dos Bocas. In March 2023, the Zama partners finalised the Zama Unit development plan (UDP) and submitted it to the regulator. Approval of the UDP was received in June 2023 and the Zama partners have formed an integrated project team (IPT) to manage the delivery of the development. FEED (front end engineering design) work began in mid-2024, ahead of a potential final investment decision. A positive decision would result in just under 200 mmboe of Harbour Energy's 2C resource moving into 2P reserves, replacing the equivalent of over a year’s worth of Harbour Energy’s current production and contributing substantially to Mexico’s energy supply over the next 25 years.
Exploration and appraisal activities
Harbour Energy also has interests in eight exploration/appraisal blocks in the Gulf of Mexico, with three exploration blocks located in the Tampico-Misantla Basin and five blocks situated in the Sureste Basin.
These include the Kan field, discovered in 2023, in Block 30 (70% interest,, operated) and the Polok and Chinwol deepwater oil fields in Block 29 (25% interest, non-operated). The Kan field is currently being appraised and for Block 29, the partners are in the process of starting FEED phase for Polok and Chinwol.
