Reform prompts US EIA to up Mexican output figures

摘要

Washington—The US Energy Information Administration on Monday boosted its longterm projection of Mexican oil production by 75%, saying that reforms to the country’s energy sector would reverse its recent declines. While the EIA had projected last year that Mexico’s oil production would drop from 3 million b/d in 2010 to 1.8 million b/d in 2025 before ranging from 2 million to 2.1 million b/d in 2040, the agency said it now expects the country will stabilize its production at 2.9 million b/d through 2020 and then increase it to 3.7 million b/d by 2040.
