The Mexico oil & gas downstream market size is anticipated to expand at a robust CAGR during the forecast period, 2021-2028. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing demand for natural gas. Moreover, rising investment in refineries and LNG Terminals is fueling the market growth.
Oil and natural gas are major industries in the energy market and play an influential role in the global economy. The processes and systems involved in producing and distributing oil and gas are highly complex, capital-intensive, and require state-of-the-art technology. The oil & gas extraction can be divided into upstream, midstream, and downstream. Downstream operation involves converting the oil & gas resources into finished products. This includes refining crude oil, natural gas, and diesel.
Mexico has an estimated 17 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of proven natural gas reserves. Natural gas is increasingly replacing oil as a feedstock in power generation. However, higher levels of natural gas consumption are expected to depend on more pipeline imports from the US or liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports from other countries. Mexico has an estimated 545 Tcf of recoverable shale gas resources, the sixth-largest in the world.
The true potential of accessing and developing shale gas in Mexico is hindered by, the accessibility of low cost U.S. natural gas, and a presidential proclamation barring the practice. However, Mexico has encouraged the increase of domestic natural gas production by inviting private companies to bid on new natural gas pipelines and storage facilities for imported U.S. natural gas.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities:
- Increasing number of projects in the pipeline to handle the locally produced oil is anticipated to driver the Mexico oil & gas downstream market.
- Growing consumption of natural gas is expected to augment the market growth.
- Declining production of oil and gas in the country can hinder the market growth.
- The outbreak of COVID-19 has impacted the Mexico oil & gas downstream market. Government state bodies had enforced stringent norms on the opening of manufacturing facilities and restricted oil & gas exploration activities. However, declining number of cases is expected to recover the market soon.
- Sizeable crude oil discoveries have been made in Southeastern Mexico, which is expected to yield around 500 million barrels of crude oil. This can create lucrative opportunities for the new refineries in the country.
- Rising foreign investments owing to favorable government policies is anticipated to proliferate the market growth.
