Welligence Energy Analytics proposed splitting Pemex into two entities: a new state-owned exploration and production company holding the 134 fields that generate 96% of production, and a residual entity with the remaining assets.[^3]

The residual would include 95 low-yield fields that together produce 81,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.[^1] Pemex operates 229 fields in total, and 36 key fields concentrate 85% of the portfolio's value, with 25 of those contributing 71% of production and 79% of value.[^2]

The proposal is a recommendation from the consultancy, not a government decision.
