Carlos Slim

Grupo Carso, owned by Carlos Slim, purchased 100 percent of Fieldwood Mexico B.V. from the Russian company Lukoil for 270 million dollars, while also assuming a 330 million dollar debt. The deal, executed through subsidiary Zamajal, gives the company full control of the Ichalkil and Pokoch oil fields, located off the coast of Campeche. The transaction still needs regulatory approvals in Mexico and the United States.
