7 Sustain crude production above 2.8 Mln b/d by Seek new opportunities to increase the production level above 3.0 Mln b/d in the long term Maintain gas production above 6 bcfd 100% reserve-replacement ratio by 2012 Maintain long term reserve/production ratio above 9 years Residual conversion in all existing refineries & the new capacity (reduction of gasoline imports) Close safety and reliability gaps Reduce environmental liabilities Enact crucial operational upgrades Close efficiency gaps through operational improvement programs Main goals

8 Manage depletion rate of mature fields Develop low-permeability fields Implement enhanced recovery methods Develop Burgos and Veracruz basins to increase non-associated gas production Implement best practices in project management Maintain a proved reserve life above 9 years and reach replacement rate of 100% by 2012 Explore deepwater and sub-saline prospects Exploitation Exploration Balanced exploitation strategy to sustain production Other Exploitation Projects Other exploration Chicontepec Cantarell Crude oil production (Thousand barrels per day) KMZ Chicontepec Cantarell Other exploration Natural gas production (Million cubic feet per day) Other Exploitation Projects Deep water Deep water Burgos Average: 2,884 Average: 6,649

11 In recent years Mexicos demand for automotive fuels has grown above the GDP while production capacity has stagnated. It is expected that this trend on demand will continue in the future. On the other hand, fuel oil demand has decreased due to substitution with natural gas for power generation. Refining growth challenges Cadereyta Salamanca Salina Cruz Minatitlán Madero Location under study Tula Fuel quality & residual conversion Fuel quality New capacity Main projects Gasoline demand (T b/d) Current production + projects under construction 523 T b/d Current production 458 T b/d 14%40%44%48% Part. of imports With projects under construction 14%40%30%20% With new projects

12 Deep conversion projects at Minatitlán, Salamanca, Tula & Salina Cruz New refining capacity Increase refining margin through deep conversion projects (coking) over national production of heavy crude oil Additional refining capacity to face growing demand, based on national availability of heavy crude oil Increase imports capacity and strengthen storage and distribution Increase storage and distribution capacity to satisfy domestic demand Ultra low sulfur fuels (NOM-086) Modernization of existing units and construction of new plants to meet ultra-low sulfur fuels standard Refining Investment Priorities

13 Natural Gas and Petrochemicals Strategies Increase process infrastructure according to primary production (sweetening, NGL recovery, liquid fractionation, and sulfur recovery). Capture the benefit associated with rich gas production (non associated) in the Northern Region Increase transport capacity as required by production and demand Encourage private sector participation in transport and storage Diversify supply sources and analyze participation in LNG projects Focus on most profitable chains and retrieve from non profitable ones: Encourage participation of private sector to develop new projects and capture business opportunities in selected chains Increase efficiency and debottlenecking of profitable chains Divest nonprofitable and marginal chains Petrochemicals Natural Gas

14 Pemex Strategic lines Pemex strategy focuses on value maximization and sustainability, involving positive financial results in every business unit, through four strategic lines: Operational efficiency Social responsibility Management Growth Close efficiency gaps in all operations Improve reliability and productivity Excel in investment project planning and execution Develop human resources Strengthen environmental protection, industrial safety and physical security Develop healthy relationships with Stakeholders : Communities where Pemex has operations Clients and suppliers Government Implement new regulatory framework Improve Corporate Governance Strengthen business oriented culture to improve performance Discover and develop new reserves Sustain oil and gas production levels Build Downstream and Logistics infrastructure to meet market opportunities, demand growth and environmental standards

16 Energy Reform: benefits Deregulation / new operational flexibility New budgetary flexibility More latitude in contracting debt Gradual use of companys profits Increase legal certainty New contractual models for high complexity projects New modalities for contracting construction and services The energy reform represents an answer to diverse aspects of Pemexs problems providing several benefits:

17 Envisages a smooth transition that will not be a shock to public finances and will not threaten short-term production and product supply Energy Reform: benefits Strengthening of the Board Independent members Creation of committees - More effective oversight Citizen bonds - market accountability More accountability and transparency Improved corporate governance Chicontepec, deep waters, abandoned fields New fiscal adjustments for strategic projects
