Natural gas reserves stand at 15.3 tcf (433 bcm) versus 16.6 tcf (469 bcm) last year. Proven reserves of both products will last 10 years at the current rate of production.
The commission said that last year Pemex replaced 89 percent of its oil production with new discoveries and maintained a gas recovery rate of 47 percent. Mexico discovered 6.7 barrels of proven oil and gas reserves for every 10 barrels produced.
