The Atún block is located on the continental shelf in the territorial waters of the Gulf of Mexico, in front of the northern coast of state of Veracruz, approximately 40 Km East-Southeast of the city of Tuxpan de Rodríguez Cano and at 15 Km North of the town of Tecolutla. Its Northern limit is the Bagre field and it covers an area of 625 Km2. Geologically is located in the eastern portion of the Tampico-Misantla Basin.
In the block are the fields Atún, Cangrejo, Escualo, Mejillón and Morsa. Seventy two (72) wells have been drilled, with sixty six (66) plugged and abandoned, four (4) shut-in and two (2) operating. The main producing formation is Middle Cretaceous El Abra formation which is made up of naturally fractured carbonates. The hydrocarbons are super-light crude, gas and condensate (45 to 53° API). The Tampico-Misantla Basin is located west side of Mexico and includes the south end of the state of Tamaulipas, the central portion of the State of Veracruz, portions of the west side of the states of San Luis Potosi and Hidalgo, the north portion of the state of Puebla and the continental platform to the bathymetry of 200 metres. The reserves are estimated to be: 1P - 9.2 MMBOE, 2P - 22.6 MMBOE and 3P - 26.3 MMBOE according to 2011 data.
