Mexico Oil & Gas Review - Mexico Oil & Gas Review 2013

In dieser Angelegenheit

Under the leadership of a new President and a new CEO of Pemex, the Mexican oil and gas industry entered a new era in 2013. Understanding the state of the industry in this year will be essential to anticipate the strategies that will be employed over the months and years to come. Pemex has been facing the same challenges for close to a decade, since its giant field Cantarell began its decline and the company started diversifying its portfolio of projects in order to boost both reserves and production. Pemex’s production peaked at 3.45 million b/d in December of 2003; the NOC hopes that by the end of Enrique Peña Nieto’s six-year presidential term, it will have brought production back to the 3 million b/d mark, from the 2012 production rate of 2.55 million b/d, while keeping its 1P reserve replacement rate above 100%.
Congress is expected to pass a new energy reform before the end of the year, and Pemex is also expected to undergo an internal restructuring in the next few months. These changes in the oil and gas landscape have the potential to be massively important to the future development of the industry, but it is only by understanding why the need exists for these changes to be made that their importance and success can be properly judged.
