Trión’s development plan, discovered by Pemex in 2012provides for the drilling of 12 producing wells and that the oil that is extracted is light, between 24 and 26 degrees API, the regulator said in a session broadcast on the Internet.
Trión, in the Perdido basin in the Gulf of Mexico, is the first association of Pemex with a private company derived from the auctions of hydrocarbon contracts carried out a few years ago, but which were suspended after the coming to power of the current Mexican president. , Andrés Manuel López Obrador, at the end of 2018.

Most of the investment will be made in the first years, in the drilling of wells and construction of infrastructure, detailed the CNH.
The Trión development plan, with a water depth of between 2,200 and 2,600 meters, contemplates a total extraction of 434 million barrels of crude oil and a production of 790 billion cubic feet of gas (mmmcf) throughout its life. of the contract, valid until 2052.
Of the total estimated gas production, 560 mmmcf would be used for reinjection into fields and the remaining 219 mmmcf would be used for sale and self-consumption, according to what was presented by the regulator.
The peak of gas production is estimated at 101 million cubic feet a day, also in 2028. Woodside has 60% of the project and Pemex 40%.
