Current Energy Research in Mexico The Fracture Research and Application Consortium (FRAC) Industrial Associate program has an active field-based program of structural geology, stratigraphy, and diagenesis research underway in northeastern Mexico. [Link to FRAC Website] The Bureau and Pemex, the national oil company of Mexico, are currently working together to study Tertiary-age basins in southern Mexico. Results of this study will help guide PEMEX exploration strategies to meet Mexicos increasing demand for natural gas resources. This project, to our knowledge the first of its kind to be awarded to a U.S. university, will also contribute to our understanding of the geology of a little-known part of the Gulf of Mexico. Bureau scientists involved in this basin research are William A. Ambrose, Luís Sanchez Barreda, Jerome A. Bellian, Dallas B. Dunlap, Shirley P. Dutton, Khaled Fouad, Edgar H. Guevara, Rebecca Harrington-Jones, Mark H. Holtz, David C. Jennette, Shinichi Sakurai, and Timothy F. Wawrzyniec.
