Merlin Cochran, general director of the Mexican Association of Hydrocarbon Companies (Amexhi), estimated that developing fracking projects in Mexico would require investments of $108 billion and approximately a decade to reach its production peak. ^[1] Mexico consumes approximately 9 billion cubic feet of natural gas daily, according to Cochran, which drives the need to develop unconventional resources through fracking. ^[2] The $108 billion investment required to detonate fracking projects is 1.4 times the investment attracted by the 2013 energy reform. ^[3] Merlin Cochran estimated that achieving a target of 9 billion cubic feet of dry gas daily would require 24 new shale fields in Mexico. ^[4] Merlin Cochran stated that fiscal conditions must be established to make the projects profitable. ^[5] Merlin Cochran stated that the investment required for these shale projects in northern Mexico is $108 billion. ^[6] President Claudia Sheinbaum committed to publishing advances from a scientific committee evaluating the extraction of natural gas from unconventional reservoirs using fracking techniques. ^[7] During the current term, Pemex has awarded 10 mixed contracts, while the legal framework contemplates other instruments to incorporate private capital. ^[8]
