Cantarell Field or Cantarell Complex is an aging supergiant offshore oil field in Mexico. It was discovered in 1976 after oil stains were noticed by a fisherman, Rudesindo Cantarell Jimenez, in 1972. [3] [4] It was placed on nitrogen injection in 2000, and production peaked at 2.1 million barrels per day (330,000 m 3 /d) in 2004. [5]
By 1901, commercial production of crude oil in Mexico had begun. California oil entrepreneur Edward L. Doheny opened the Ebano oil field along the Mexican Central Railway.

The first oil explorations in the onshore Sureste Basin started in 1907. Offshore explorations started in the mid 20th century. Improvement of drilling techniques in the 1970s allowed the discovering of giant oil fields, such as Cantarell. Since 2015, oil companies have started exploration in deep waters. In 2017, the Zama oil field was discovered.
Operated by Shell, with JV partners Chevron (37.5%) and BP (27.5%), the spar acts as a hub for and enables development of three fields Great White, Tobago, and Silvertip. The oil and gas fields beneath the platform lie in a geological formation holding resources estimated at 3–15 billion barrels of oil equivalent according to a report by the BSEE, formerly known as the MMS.
Zama oil field was discovered by the Zama-1 well in July 2017 [1] in the Block 7 of the Sureste Basin. [3] It was the first exploration well to be drilled by the private sector in Mexico [4] since the Mexican oil expropriation. Talos Energy was the operator of the project in a joint-venture with Sierra Oil & Gas and Premier Oil. In September ...
