 | | Petroleum Intelligence Weekly reports that the Cantarell oil field, provider of roughly 65% of Mexico’s crude oil production, or 2.1 mbd, is due to go into steep decline, with output dropping to about 1.46 mbd by 2006, according to an internal report by the upstream unit of state Pemex. |
 | | Cantarell, located in the Gulf of Mexico, is the source of Mexico’s heavy Maya export grade. |
 | | Last year, Pemex officials thought Cantarell, which is the subject of a massive nitrogen injection project, would exceed targets and make profits, and the head of Pemex, Raul Munoz, recently said that he wanted to raise crude production by 11% this year, to 3.5 mbd. |
