PEMEX, Woodside Energy Meet to Discuss Trion

PEMEX, and Woodside Energy are advancing the Trion deepwater oil and gas project, a key initiative in Mexico’s energy future. The project, located in the Gulf of Mexico, faces technological and operational challenges, as it targets hydrocarbons at depths greater than 2,500m. PEMEX CEO, Víctor Rodríguez met with Woodside’s Vice President, Stephane Drouaud, to discuss the project’s progress and strengthen the partnership between the two companies.

Joining them were key figures from both PEMEX and Woodside, including Néstor Martínez Romero, Director General, PEMEX Exploration and Production, and Raymundo Piñones, Country Manager, Woodside Energy. The meeting highlighted the collaborative efforts essential for Trion’s success, which is expected to boost Mexico’s oil production and contribute to long-term energy independence. Both companies are committed to ensuring the project adheres to local and international standards, particularly in exploration technology and the regulatory environment.

The Trion project, which is projected to reach an oil and gas production capacity of 110Mb/d and 120MMcf/d, will play a pivotal role in Mexico’s strategy for energy self-sufficiency. This development is a direct result of PEMEX’s partnership with Woodside Energy, which combines PEMEX’s local expertise with Woodside’s advanced technological capabilities.

In addition to the meeting with Woodside, Mexico’s Minister of Energy, Luz Elena González, also engaged with Daniel Kalms, Senior Vice President, Woodside Energy, to discuss the broader strategic collaboration between PEMEX and the company. González emphasized the importance of the Trion project in Mexico’s pursuit of energy independence. “This type of project contributes to our goal of energy independence for the benefit of the people of Mexico.”

Woodside Energy, one of Australia’s largest oil and gas companies, has expressed interest in expanding its operations in Mexico, aiming to contribute to the country’s energy security. The discussions between PEMEX, the Ministry of Energy, and Woodside are part of a broader effort to align private-sector initiatives with Mexico’s national energy goals, further enhancing the country’s oil and gas sector.
