The Lakach field, some 90 kilometers from the Gulf port of Veracruz, holds an estimated 900 billion cubic feet of natural gas, but rising costs and disagreements over how to develop it have impeded the venture. Pemex had planned to sell 190 million cubic feet per day of gas to NFE and supply another 110 mcfd to the domestic market. Production was supposed to start in the first quarter of 2024.
Reuters previously reported that officials at the CNH and Pemex had been at odds over how to develop Lakach and other large fields.
