Pemex will accelerate the establishment of farm-out arrangements and strategic associations across its business lines in order to increase production of both crude and petroliferous protects, and to bring reserves into production and gain access to the latest technology. This mechanism will allow Pemex to increase investments, enhance competitiveness and optimize how it spreads financial and technological risks. Pemex CEO José Antonio González Anaya said at a congress. 

González Anaya said that 2017 will be a watershed year for the state-owned energy giant, a year in which a primary surplus will occur for the first time in five years.
