Mexico rivals Saudi Arabia with claimed oil riches
Mexico City President Jose Lopez Portillo told the annual state of the union that Mexico could hold the world’s largest known oil reserves up to 200 billion barrels with trillions of cubic feet of natural gas. He cited offshore and coastal deposits across 7000 square miles onshore and ten times that offshore. PEMEX has been conservative but today production runs about 1.4 million barrels daily, reshaping U.S. energy prospects and challenging OPEC control. Mexico, which nationalized oil in 1938, now foresees prosperity from exports and reduced dependence on imports.
