Mexico has great potential in the exploration and production of hydrocarbons, but there are many areas that have not been sufficiently explored, especially in the Gulf of Mexico. The National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) announced work on this subject.
The National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH) made an important decision on an offshore project from the consortium of Hokchi Energy and E&P Hidrocarburos.
The two companies signed the first contract to evaluate and develop the Eagle Ford unconventional gas field.
Pemex published the number of drill rigs in operation during 2017. This important metric is still at historically low levels, but the company reported a slight improvement in this data.
Pemex needs to start producing in new areas to recover its poor metrics in this regard. The company is optimistic about the Ek and Balam production potential. The company presented its development plan for these fields.
Tamaulipas Energy Commissioner Andrés Fusco Clynes, spoke about the impact of industry activities in the state.
Mexico has recorded poor drilling metrics in recent years as a result of the Pemex crisis. However, prospects for the short term are positive, as the National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH) expects this metric to increase substantially.
The Mexican government wants to promote the development of unconventional projects in the country, since the potential of these resources is enormous. However, these techniques have a bad reputation and there are growing concerns and controversies about their possible application in Mexico.
Mexico is facing tough times in its natural gas sector, especially because of low production and its low budget to invest in the sector. However, some of the basins of the country have a huge gas potential, even higher than some United States basins.
Authorities spoke about the Ixachi I well; a new discovery in Veracruz. But will it be enough for the country to recover from 14 years of falling production
