Recent
data indicates that the U.S. has now become a net exporter of oil to
petroleum-rich Mexico for the first time in 20 years, an oddity First
Titan Corp. (OTCBB: FTTN) believes represents a way to get into a
potentially lucrative market at the most opportune time.
While the exported amount was small due to U.S.
restrictions on sending oil overseas, the strange situation of a
nation awash in oil importing it suggests the
Mexican energy industry needs outside help. This could be why the
Latin American nation is hosting lease auctions open to international
companies.
“We believe this data and the lease auctions clearly show there are
great opportunities in Mexico for companies like FTTN to gain a strong
market foothold,” said CEO Sydney Jim. “We’re definitely interested in
entering that arena and we will continue our
efforts to identify potential partners to join us in future lease
bids. The Mexican
energy sector is looking for help to develop its resources.
Companies willing to take a chance could see a big payoff when that
market reaches its so far untapped potential. We want to be a player in
that game when it happens.”
Mexico saw much better results from its recently
concluded second international auction. The government awarded
three of five blocks up for bid in the September 30 round of
bidding. An Italian oil company won one block while the other two were
awarded to consortiums
of smaller companies of the type FTTN is seeking to form.
