Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Wednesday, 15 March 2006, 11:44 GMT Mexico discovers 'huge' oil field Mr Fox's government wants Mexico to maintain its current output Mexican President Vicente Fox has announced the discovery of a new deep-water oil field, which is believed to contain 10bn barrels of crude. The field is in the Gulf of Mexico, and Mexico says it could be bigger than its largest oil field, Cantarell. Production there is said to have declined sharply in recent years. Mr Fox made the announcement as figures showed the country's total oil reserves had fallen 2% between 2003 and 2005. Perforation of the well known as Noxal 1, which is located about 100km (60 miles) from the port of Coatzacoalcos on the coast of Veracruz state, started in December. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4808466.stm Dasha: Sa/Me/Mo/Ve/Mo satva Jorge Angelino Rua da Sociedade Filarmónica Perpétua Azeitonense, 29 2925-598 Azeitão Portugal jorge.angelino tel: mobile: 210813674 963916784 Add me to your address book...
