Abstract
This general out line for Petroleos Mexicanos describes the natural gas production and processing in Mexico, and the influence that natural gas products and condensate have on petrochemicals production.
Since about 80% of natural gas production comes from the off-shore oil-fields in the Gulf of Campeche and from the in-land oil fields of the Chiapas-Tabasco mesozoic region, the Petroleos Mexicanos four largest natural gas processing centres are located in the south-east part of Mexico: Cactus, Nuevo Pemex, Ciudad Pemex and la Venta petrochemical complexes. The first one is located in Chiapas and the others in Tabasco.
The impact of natural gas processing over the basic and secondary petrochemical industries is shown through its growing and sustained development since Mexico increased its natural gas availability.
