To recover from recent drops in oil prices, Mexico has recently decided to concentrate its hydrocarbon exploration efforts on the already productive Chiapas-Tabasco-Campeche areas, where the potential for success is the highest and the costly gathering and processing infrastructures are in place. Seismic and drilling tests have indicated the existence of a series of reservoirs stretching from Cardenas in the state of Tabasco out to the deep sea, just west of the currently producing zone in Campeche Bay. These deep-lying, high-pressure reservoirs appear to hold large quantities of light crude oil and natural gas.
