Lot of work to get this oil,....eighth deepest well in the world.

But it is right on the US border ....See this:

Matamoros–Brownsville Metropolitan Area

But I think this is a whole new area ....guess Thackey can correct me.

The Supremo exploratory well is 250 kilometers east of the Gulf port of Matamoros on the border with the U.S. and 40 kilometers south of Mexico's maritime border with the U.S

I don't consider 25 miles right on the border, just near to it. World record horizontal reach for drilling is about 8 miles.
