Cantarell Field

The Cantarell Field is one of the world's largest oil fields, located offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, near Mexico's coast. It has been a major source of crude oil production for Mexico, contributing significantly to the country's economy. Developed in the 1970s, Cantarell has thousands of wells extracting deep underground oil reserves. Over time, production has declined due to the natural depletion of the oil reserves, leading to increased efforts to manage and extend its productivity. It plays a crucial role in Mexico’s energy industry and has historically been one of the top-producing oil fields globally.
