Source: Energy Secretariat, Chapter IV (production by well), August 2026. Oil in barrels per day (1 m³ = 6.29 barrels) and gas in millions of m³ per day. The oil change compares August 2026 with August 2025. The best gas month is shown only for gas-weighted areas and operators (more than 2,671 m³ of gas per m³ of oil) and looks at September 2025 and January to August 2026.
Activity: Energy Secretariat, Chapter IV: wells with drilling start since January 2024 (reported through May 2026) and fracs since January 2024 (Annex IV, reported through July 2026). Operators without production are not shown.
