Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) announced the discovery of fields in the Sitio Grande field, located in the municipality of Reforma, Chiapas.projected production of which will be 148 million barrels of crude oil.
The company intends to drill a well at a depth of 8300 meterss, anticipating the possible existence of a superfield in the area.
“With new seismic data we are collecting, it is believed that targets deeper than the original field there are very good opportunities, Therefore, a test well will be drilled,” said Pemex CEO Octavio Romero Oropeza.
Pemex Exploration Deputy Director Leonardo Aguilera Gomez explained that the well to be drilled is called Sitio Grande 2001. Its purpose is to evaluate the area below a known field.

“We are going to a deeper target; the well is planned to be drilled at 8 thousand 300 meters, we go three thousand meters deeper from which we estimate that prospective resources could be 148 million barrels of oil equivalent,” he explained.
Drilling time was significantly reduced compared to previous administrations, with fields averaging 98 days, down from 122 days previously. in the depth range from 7500 to 8100 meters.
Romero Oropesa emphasized the importance of this project, comparing it with other early developments such as Ixachi and Tupilco. where the superfields were below the original fields.
“This is the concept that Sitio Grande is looking for; the deposit is below 8 thousand meters and, like in other early projects, we have the infrastructure very close, so we could develop very quickly according to the logic of early production,” he emphasized.

Work will begin at the end of April and expected to be completed in 140 days with the results of the study.
Pemex has all the necessary engineering, appropriate planning and permits, in addition to the accelerated construction plancomplete crude oil exploration in less than 60 days.
The installation of an 8-inch diameter duct is visualized. manage the oil and gas mixture from the exploration well and begin early subsoil production.
