EAI brief takeaway: Pemex’ 1.6 MMb/d production falling short, very short

HOUSTON, TEXAS (By Pietro D. Pitts, Energy Analytics Institute, 2.Aug.2025, Words: 240) — Claudia Sheinbaum’s vision to see state-owned Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) produce up to 1.8 million barrels per day (MMb/d) during her 6-year presidency (2024-2030) or sexenio, is arguably getting off to the slow, but, very slow start.

This, as Pemex reported liquids production of 1.623 MMb/d in the second-quarter 2025 (2Q:25).
