Sener identified 9 viable fields for gas storage

This much I'll say, IF Brasil is chosen, then we're in, I don't care which way you mix it up, on our own, joint venture, sell the intellectual property, whatever, remember the development/research that has gone into this will take many years for anyone to develop from scratch, I've seen it with my own eyes.

The country has 760 oil fields, of which 46 are at their economic limit , being candidates for underground storage of natural gas , for which the Ministry of Energy (Sener) through a risk value methodology classified the nine most suitable.

During his participation in the Fourth Energy Congress of Veracruz , the Undersecretary of Hydrocarbons of Sener , Miguel Ángel Maciel, indicated that of these nine fields, six are physically located in Veracruz, and they are an area of ??opportunity to store gas to create storage strategic that allows availability.

The fields that Sener identified and that are suitable for storage are: Jaf, Obertura, Vistoso, Lizamba, Chilapilla José Colomo, Brasil, Apertura and Papán .

"Today we don't have storage, other than the tubes, only what is stored in them and it goes in the order of two days, so if we have this need to use the gas, we can store it in fields."
The proposal to store hydrocarbons in depleted fields or salt caverns has been raised in the past . In 2021 Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) entered the Security, Energy and Environment Agency (ASEA), through its subsidiary production company Pemex Logística , a request to make two cavities in Ixhuatlán , Veracruz , for the storage of Maya and Isthmus crude .

Caverns had previously been analyzed as storage candidates in the Acuyo field , Brazil , Saramako and Jaf , as well as an expansion of Tuzandepetl .


Another storage project in salt caverns is that of the company Cydsa , which in November 2014 formalized a contract with Pemex , to develop underground storage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LP Gas) in a cavern.

The Undersecretary of Hydrocarbons said that the Brazil field is a candidate for storage. "It's a depleted field that could easily be used for storage."

Regarding the economic feasibility of continuing to import natural gas from the United States or developing the Burgos Basin , Miguel Ángel Maciel said that it would be worthwhile to carry out an economic analysis that it would be better for us as a country to "exploit gas in Burgos or buy from the United States , because the gas is already purchased through CFE contracts ."

He concluded that it will be necessary to analyze whether it is better to store gas in the Brasil field as a first step, and then continue with exploitation in the Burgos Basin .
