据今日石油网站12月23日墨西哥城报道，今年12月，墨西哥国家石油公司（墨国油/ Pemex)发现了过去30年来最大的石油和天然气田之一。这个为称为奎斯基(Quesqui)的含油地层位于墨西哥塔巴斯科州的陆上，据估计，其原油储量高达5亿桶。按墨西哥每日180万桶原油日产量计算，这个储量相当于墨西哥280天的产量，按当前布伦特原油价格每桶65美元计算，这个新发现原油储量相当于325亿美元。也就是说，如果墨国油能够把储量全部开采出来，墨西哥能够收入325亿美元，但墨国油通常做不到。
墨西哥政府尚未公布新发现原油储量类型的详细分类，但墨国油对2020年新发现储量的日产量持乐观态度，新储量届时将日产6.9万桶原油。墨西哥政府预计2021年前塔巴斯科州的原油日产量将达到11万桶以及天然气日产量将达到4.1亿立方英尺。
这一发现对墨西哥政府来说是个好消息，因为墨国油的债务有所增加，原油日产量已从2004年的340万桶下降了一半。

Discovery of new onshore oil mega field boosts outlook for Mexico’s state-owned Pemex
This December Mexico’s state-owned oil company Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) made one of its largest oil and gas discoveries of the past three decades. The formation, dubbed Quesqui, is located onshore in Tabasco state, and is estimated to contain as much as 500 million barrels of crude. That’s 280 days’ worth of output at Mexico’s 1.8 million barrels of oil per day (bpd), worth an estimated $32.5 billion at current Brent crude price of $65.00 per barrel. That is, if Pemex can extract it all, which it normally won’t.
The Mexican government yet to release a detailed breakdown of the reserve types, but Pemex is optimistic it will be producing 69,000 bpd of the new reserves in 2020. By 2021, the Mexican government anticipates output reaching 110,000 bpd from Tabasco, as well as 410 million cubic feet of natural gas per day.
The find comes as welcome news to the Mexican government which has seen Pemex’s debt increase and oil output decline by half from 3.4 million bpd back in 2004.
