Re: Pemex drill 3 Unconventional This is a translation of the article,
Petrleos Mexicanos (Pemex) made six oil discoveries between June and August 2019, the National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH) reported.
These are two conventional terrestrial discoveries, one in shallow waters and three more unconventional, that is, that require hydraulic fracturing (fracking) for the extraction of hydrocarbons, according to the quarterly report of ratification of June-August discoveries of 2019 of the energy regulator.
Commissioner Alma Amrica Porres Luna recalled that ratification precedes the determination of whether discovery is commercial or not, during the ordinary session number 10 of the governing body.
The first discovery was the result of the conventional Ixachi-10001EXP land well in the Veracruz basin, which produces gas and gas condensate of 42 ° API degrees, that is, a superlight hydrocarbon.

Quesqui was the second conventional terrestrial discovery and was the result of the well of the same name, which produces gas and gas condensates of 41 degrees API in the petroleum province basins of the Southeast
Tohkin is the third discovery in shallow waters with the Tohkin-1AEXP well with 25-degree API gas and heavy oil in the southeastern basin petroleum province, whose age of the reservoir is the upper Cretaceous.
"Given the estimated volumetry and fluid conditions, Pemex said that it would exhaust activities here," said the director general of exploration opinions of the regulator, Rodrigo Hernndez Ordoez,
Maxochitl was an unconventional land discovery in the province of Tampico-Misantla, with gas and superlight oil of 43 degrees API with an age of the Upper Jurassic Oxfordian.
"This well was the first one that was drilled in this assignment for the oxfordian play, it is a new level that is being discovered in this area," added Hernndez Ordoez.
Kaneni was the last unconventional land discovery with gas and oil of 36 API degrees in the Tampico-Misantla province. The age of the site is in the upper Jurassic Tithonian.
