Another important natural resource found in Mexico’s territory is shale gas, in Spanish gas de lutita, made accessible through hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling technologies. One of the main basins of this resource is in the state of Veracruz, in a place called Tampico-Misantla, with a potential of 681 billion cubic feet of natural gas.
El gas de lutita es un recurso natural no renovable (Shale gas is a nonrenewable natural resource).
