Marathon Apparent High Bidder on 27 Blocks in GOM Lease Sale 205
"These new leases will compliment our current portfolio of prospects and further strengthen Marathon's exploration commitment in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico," said Phil Behrman, senior vice president Worldwide Exploration for Marathon.
During the second quarter of 2007, Marathon announced the Droshky discovery (100 percent working interest) in the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, Marathon entered into a two-year contract for a new deepwater semi submersible drilling rig for Gulf of Mexico activity, which should commence in late 2009 or early 2010. During the fourth quarter of 2007, Marathon plans to commence an exploration well on the Flathead Prospect (100 percent working interest) and will participate in an appraisal well on the Stones discovery (30 percent working interest).
