There are also old wells that have stopped producing but that could be made productive again with modern technologies. And there are potential gas and oil fields that can be tapped only with the new technologies of fracking and horizontal drilling.
墨西哥石油公司技术水平平庸，这意味着它无法充分开发和利用墨西哥巨大的油气资源。墨西哥有很多石油储备需要墨石油所不具备的深水钻井技术。还有许多停产旧油井，若有现代技术可以实现复产。还有一些潜在油气田，只有运用致裂技术和水平钻井技术才能生产。
