The state-owned company Petróleos Mexicanos(Pemex) has begun exploitation in the Puk exploratory well, which is located in the state of Tabasco. This well has started producing and generating more than 1,700 barrels of oil per day currently registered.
Production projections at the Puk well
The Puk well has shown potential, with 13 sandy formations that could contain between 8 and 15 million barrels of crude oil equivalent. The development plan for this field includes the drilling of approximately four additional wells. For example, its proximity to the Jep field gives it strategic value, with an estimated combined payout of 18 million barrels of crude oil equivalent.

It is expected that the oil extracted is expected to be lightwith a density varying between 25 and 31 degrees API. And also, the probability of geological success stands at 27%.
Pemex CEO Octavio Romero Oropeza has mentioned the importance of the Puk well due to its proximity to the Quesqui field. This location, together with the proximity to the Jep and Chucox wells, will facilitate a more efficient and economic production. Also, Romero Oropeza highlighted that, although it is a field with relatively small reserves, its connectivity with Quesqui’s existing infrastructure optimizes its profitability and reduces operating costs.
Tabasco’s oil potential
With the projection of drilling four additional wells, Pemex plans to increase production in the area. The location of the Puk well in Huimanguillo, Tabasco, and its prospective resources of 11 million barrels of crude oil. In addition, the oil extracted, being light and with a 27% probability of geological success, presents a lucrative opportunity for the company.
Romero Oropeza has stressed the strategic importance of the Puk well’s proximity to the Quesqui field. This proximity facilitates more efficient and economic production, while optimizing profitability by leveraging Quesqui’s existing infrastructure, which reduces operating costs. Despite being a field with relatively small reserves, the connectivity with Quesqui and other nearby fields such as Jep and Chucox strengthens the economic viability of the project.
