The Mexican government is close to reaching a deal with U.S.-based Talos Energy over the future of a potentially lucrative shared crude discovery, the president said on June 3.
The handling of Zama, a deposit holding some 900 million barrels and located offshore in the southern Gulf of Mexico, which provoked a battle over who would run the project, is being closely watched by U.S. investors as a test of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s commitment to respecting private contracts in the politically sensitive energy sector.

Saudi Arabia raised oil prices for its biggest market in Asia by more than expected as the region’s main economies ease coronavirus restrictions, helping boost demand.
The increase for July shipments resumes a streak of hikes that started in February and was only broken when state producer Saudi Aramco cut prices from record levels a month ago.
Aramco raised its key Arab Light crude grade for Asian customers by $2.10 a barrel from June to $6.50 above the benchmark it uses. The market was expecting a boost of $1.50, according to a Bloomberg survey of refiners and traders.
Aramco also increased all grades for northwest Europe and the Mediterranean regions. Prices for US customers were kept unchanged for the second straight month.
