In Mexico, the German oil company bought the oil company Sierra Oil & Gas, which ensured local onshore production and an important discovery in shallow waters.
The company's ownership structure involves Basf (70%) and the Letter One group, and the company's forecast is to close 2019 with a production of 630 boe/d, most of which is gas.
