Conventional Oil & Gas in LatAm is back in the headlines, from Shell's pivot and ESG-carbon crisis, to YPF's intermittent privatization chatter, Petrobras' Amazonian quandary, to PEMEX's eternal struggles. Even oil exploration via controversial PETROPAR leases in the Paraguayan Chaco has snaked its way back into vogue and public discourse. One amazing stat below from Latinometrics best summarizes how internal and political corruption at SOE's -- not just in LatAm, but around the world -- historically cause companies to massively underperform over a sustained period of time. Latinometrics: "Mismanagement and underinvestment have crippled the production – and revenues – of Mexico’s state-owned oil company (and historical Latin American leader) PEMEX in recent years." "Today, #Mexico produces less oil than the US state of New Mexico to its north— despite the latter being roughly 85% smaller in size and nearly 99% smaller in population."
