To help companies evaluating an entry into Mexico, Lynx is offering a Mexico GIS Dataset as an ArcGIS Desktop project, which provides a number of important G&G layers to set the framework for closer analysis of each of the open block areas.  The slideshow below gives a preview of some of the layers included in the project.

Lynx is also available to help companies with the task of with data integration and analogue-to-digital reconstruction (seismic and well log vectorization) work as might be encountered during this bid round.
