Lakach Deepwater Natural Gas Project
Sector: Natural Gas • Location: Mexico
Source: Offshore Engineer Magazine
The Lakach field in the Gulf of Mexico is planned to be Mexico's first deepwater natural gas project. It holds an estimated 900 billion cubic feet of gas, but production is challenging due to low pressure at the existing well. The project was agreed to be developed by Grupo Carso alongside state-run Pemex, but has faced feasibility concerns and criticism from Carlos Slim, who called it irrational.
