中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯墨西哥城3月28日消息，墨西哥政府在该国石油行业向外资和私有投资开放以来的第九次拍卖活动中，授出了墨西哥湾浅水区域16份油气勘探合同。

此次拍卖共有35个区块，这是7月1日墨西哥总统大选之前的最后一次拍卖。在这次选举中领先的候选人左翼的Andrs Manuel Lpez Obrador表示，他将重新审查合同，并至少在第一批竞标结果取得积极结果之前暂停拍卖。

Mexican Government Awards 16 Offshore Oil Blocks in Auction

The Mexican government awarded 16 contracts Tuesday for oil and gas exploration in shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico in its ninth auction since opening the oil industry to foreign and private investment.

The auction of 35 blocks was the last before the July 1 presidential election in which the leading candidate, leftist Andrs Manuel Lpez Obrador, has said he would review the contracts and hold off any new auctions at least until positive results are seen from the first awards.

Mexican state oil company Petrleos Mexicanos secured seven blocks, one alone and six in partnerships with other companies including Deutsche Erdoel AG, Total SA, and Royal Dutch Shell.
