Exxon Mobil is considering throwing in a bid for six oil and gas blocks in northern Afghanistan, a company spokesman confirmed to Gas Matters Today on Tuesday. Leases for the blocks, located in the western portion of the Afghan-Tajik Basin, are being auctioned off by the Afghan government in an effort to attract foreign investment. Bids are due in October, with winning bidders set to be announced by the end of the year.
