New Mexico oil finds may boost PEMEX reserves past Saudi output
Mexico could overtake Saudi Arabia as the top oil producer if discoveries along the Gulf Coast prove up. PEMEX says potential reserves could rise from about 200 to over 300 billion barrels, with 110 billion barrels and 40 trillion cubic feet of gas reported in the Golden Belt. Development over 13 years would require 30 wells yearly for four years and extensive road and rail construction.
