Pemex triples estimate of Veracruz oil field’s reserves.

Pemex’s preliminary development plan includes drilling more than 40 development wells at a cost of more than $1.5 billion, Carlos Trevino, Pemex general director, said at an event Tuesday announcing Ixachi’s progress.

“The expected value of the total production of Ixachi is worth $40 billion,” Trevino said. “Based on these numbers, you can see how profitable this project will be.”
