MEXICO CITY, March 19, 2019 – Pemex will triple the number of wells it drills in 2019 compared to 2018 to raise production by 300,000 bopd by 2022, company general director Octavio Romero Oropeza said during a news conference on Monday.
The NOC’s plans include a total of 506 wells in 20 fields and 13 platforms for 16 shallow-water projects. In addition, Pemex’s upstream development plans call for 27 new pipelines, 14 of which will be located offshore, to handle the expected production.
“In Petroleos Mexicanos’ [Pemex’s] entire history, it has perhaps never developed 20 new fields in one year,” Romero said, as cited by Reuters.
