I was wondering the same thing. Where did they get that number?
Mexico needs to quit conning and start using their own resources for their own people.
It is a wonder PEMEX gets a drop of oil out of the ground.
And if it were not for the U.S. oil field services companies that would not get a drop of oil out of the ground.
Back in the days before PEMEX permitted foreign companies and workers into their E&P the place was a disaster. Production was decreasing and the E&P they did have was being done with 40 or 50 year old tools.
Even today when working with PEMEX it takes a month to get done something that would take a half a day in Houston.
