As such, the energy sector is administrated by the government with varying degrees of private investment. Mexico is the sixth-largest oil producer in the world. Pemex, the public company in charge of administring research, exploration and sales of oil. Is the largest company in Mexico. Without enough money to continue investing in finding new sources or upgrading infrastructure, and being protected constitutionally from private and foreing investment, some have predicted the company may face institutional collapse.The general trend in thermal generation is a decline in petroleum-based fuels and a growth in natural gas and coal. Since Mexico is a net importer of natural gas, higher levels of natural gas consuption will likely depend upon higher imports from either the United States or by natural gas.
