Gulf of Mexico oil blocks show “lack of prospect”: Rosneft

MOSCOW, Dec 2 (Reuters) – Russia’s largest oil producer Rosneft and ExxonMobil have decided not to proceed with joint development of Gulf of Mexico oil blocks due to “lack of prospects”, Interfax news agency quoted Rosneft as saying on Friday.

In 2011, both companies signed a broad cooperation agreement, which included offering Rosneft equity interests in Exxon exploration projects in North America, including deepwater Gulf of Mexico and fields in Texas.
