Mexico weighs 'sustainable fracking' to cut dependence on US natural gas
President Claudia Sheinbaum indicated on Wednesday that her government could allow a form of sustainable fracking in order to increase domestic production of natural gas, a fuel that Mexico currently imports from the United States in large quantities. A decision to allow the controversial oil and gas extraction technique would effectively reverse the policy of the previous federal government, which, under former President Andrés Manuel López Obr…
Environmental and social organizations were opposed to the president’s recent statements on the possible analysis to produce non-conventional gas in Mexico, considering that opening the door to fracking contradicts the previous commitment to ban this technique and deepens dependence on fossil fuels. The associations led by the Mexican Alliance Against Fracking, during the morning conference, mentioned that a “group of experts” will evaluate the …
Pemex explores sustainable fracking with water and CO2 recycling to raise gas and oil production, reducing imports and debt in Mexico. Mexican Petroleum (Pemex) carries a debt of almost $100 billion and could be on the verge of making a historic turn to its fortune. While its production of liquid hydrocarbons stagnates around 1.6 million barrels per day (bpd) and the country imports more than 70% of its natural gas from the United States, the co…
Mexico is opening the door to the hydraulic fracture, a controversial oil extraction technique known as fracking, given the country's strong dependence on imported natural gas to produce electricity.But this option, in addition to environmental impacts, faces high costs that question its profitability.The possibility of using this technique arises because 75% of the consumption of natural gas in Mexico comes from Texas thanks to the hydraulic fr…
I assume they saw President Claudia Sheinbaum’s turn this week. It’s worth a good look at what she said, because she can open a business for a lot of people. What did they load her cell phone with tonight? Most likely it was with natural gas. Yes, with electricity, but produced with a turbine similar to that of aircraft that, instead of turbosine, uses natural gas, in a “combined cycle.” There’s a problem with that: Mexicans don’t have gas. Wow,…
