Recent discoveries in the Bay of Campeche should significantly increase Mexico's total oil output of 2.7 million b/d. Three of the 10 fields found last year were in that prolific area where 65% of the country's crude production originates. Campeche crude production reached a daily average of 1,737,908 bbl last year, compared with 1,673,829 bbl in 1983. Gas production was 951.9 Mcfd, out of a total of 3,752.6 Mcfd. Almost half of Mexico's proven reserves, 34.2 billion bbl, lie in the offshore Campeche area.
