埃尼宣布在 9 号区块的 Yopaat-1 EXP 勘探井发现了新油气，该井位于墨西哥近海苏雷斯特盆地 Cuenca Salina 中深水区，距海岸约 63 公里。初步估计，已发现的石油和相关天然气储量约为 300-400 mboe。

该井的钻探深度为 525 米，总深度达到 2,931 米。目前总的储量估计超过 13 亿桶油当量，这使得埃尼能够推进未来潜在的“地下”开发研究，包括该地区的发现和其他前景，并与附近的基础设施协同发展。

目前，埃尼集团是墨西哥的主要外国运营商，拥有墨西哥湾苏雷斯特盆地八个勘探和生产区块的权益。第 9 区块合资企业由埃尼集团作为运营商（拥有 50% 的参与权益）和雷普索尔（拥有剩余 50% 的权益）组成。

Eni has announced a new discovery on the Yopaat-1 EXP exploration well in Block 9, approximately 63 km off the coast in the mid-deep water of the Cuenca Salina in the Sureste Basin, offshore Mexico. Preliminary estimates indicate a discovered potential of around 300-400 mboe of oil and associated gas in place.

The well has been drilled in a water depth of 525 m and reached a total depth of 2,931 m. The overall estimate of resources in place currently exceeds 1.3 bboe, which allows Eni to advance with studies towards a potential future “Hub” development, including the discoveries and other prospects present in the area, in synergy with the infrastructures located nearby.

Currently, Eni is the main foreign operator in the country and holds rights in eight exploration and production blocks in the Sureste Basin in the Gulf of Mexico. The Block 9 joint venture consists of Eni as operator with a 50% participating interest, and Repsol with the remaining 50%.
