PUERTO VALLARTA. - Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) confirmed they will reach the South-West Marine Region original goal production by 2015, despite the fire on the Abkatun, platform in Campeche, which occurred on April 1.
Pemex general director of exploration and production (PEP), Gustavo Hernández, said that they will achieve the original goal of 646 thousand barrels per day of crude oil and a thousand 442 million cubic feet of gas.
