石油设备网讯 据路透社5月21日墨西哥报道，墨西哥国家石油公司(Pemex)首席执行官表示，该公司正努力通过开发现有油田和其它尚未发现的油田，在2024年底前将石油日产量提高100万桶。
如果这一目标得以实现，这家负债累累的公司将超过现任总统的目标，即以240万桶/天的日产量结束总统任期，远高于目前170万桶/天的产量水平。
墨西哥国家石油公司执行长Octavio Romero称，该公司正在开发20个新油田，其中包括东南部Veracruz州的Ixachi油田。根据最新数据，该油田的潜在储量可能达到13亿桶。
罗梅罗在一场活动中表示，“Ixachi和其他正在开发的油田到2021年底将实现日产量约32万桶，日产量约9亿立方英尺。”
他补充说，进一步的开采将来自已经在勘探的油田。
罗梅罗说:“我们估计，到本届政府任期结束时，石油日产量将达到100多万桶，天然气日产量将达到27亿立方英尺。”“我们正在加紧制定所有可能的授权投资计划。”
墨西哥国家石油公司估计有1,060亿美元的金融债务，目前正受到信用评级机构的密切关注。
分析师和专家曾表示，该公司需要增加勘探和生产支出，以发现并开发储量，从而阻止该公司长期以来的产量下降。
政府已经采取了多项措施来支撑该公司的财务状况。
原文如下：Mexico's Pemex aims for 1 mln bpd rise in crude output by 2024
Mexican state oil company Pemex is striving to increase oil production by 1 million barrels per day (bpd) by the end of 2024 by developing existing oilfields and others yet to be discovered, the company’s chief executive said.
If the target is met, the heavily indebted company will surpass President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s goal of ending his term with oil production of 2.4 million bpd, well above the current level of 1.7 million bpd.
Pemex Chief Executive Octavio Romero said the company is developing 20 new fields, including Ixachi, in the southeastern state of Veracruz, which could yield 1.3 billion barrels of potential reserves, according to updated figures.
“Ixachi and the rest of the fields under development will achieve production of around 320,000 bpd of oil and 900 million cubic feet (daily) of gas by the end of 2021,” Romero said at an event.
He added that further production will result from sites already in exploration.
“With this, we estimate reaching production of more than 1 million bpd of oil and 2,700 million cubic feet of gas at the end of this administration,” said Romero. “We are working intensely on all possible plans with authorized investment.”
With an estimated $106 billion in financial debt, Pemex is under intense scrutiny from credit ratings agencies.
Analysts and experts have said the company needs to increase its spending on exploration and production to discover reserves and develop them, halting the firm’s long-running decline in output.
The administration of Lopez Obrador, who took office in December, has taken several measures to shore up the company’s finances.
