[edit] Image Tagging Image:P1 head ap.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:P1 head ap.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by going to "Your contributions" from your user page and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --Pak21 13:15, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

I be a senior, and I've seen you edit UIUC a few times before. I haven't been doing too much at that page recently, but vandals on other articles I edit have kept me occupied recently. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 00:44, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

As I recall, it was still quite light out when Channick was hit (I remember, since I had a non-credit class that started at 6pm and one of my classmates saw the scene on her way to the class -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 04:45, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

You're free to look it up in the DI or NG, though - my memory has been known to be wrong, but I'm pretty sure of my timing on this one. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 21:09, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Fhs.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Fhs.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Fair use problem with Image:Fhs.jpg

I notice you uploaded the image Image:Fhs.jpg with the {{PreK12-logo}} fair use image tag. However, it appears that this tag is totally unrelated to the content of the image, and as a result it may qualify for speedy deletion. Image:Fhs.jpg has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.

If you can find a valid tag that expresses why Image:Fhs.jpg can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the {{PreK12-logo}} tag that you have placed on it with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{Non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can reupload it but please ensure you place the correct tag on it. However, you must not remove the speedy deletion notice. Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia. --Fritz S. (Talk) 20:03, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oil in Mexico

A gas station in Puerto Vallarta
A gas station in Puerto Vallarta

Mexico is the sixth largest producer of oil in the world and the tenth largest in terms of net export as of 2007. It is the second largest oil producer in the Western Hemisphere behind only the United States and just ahead of Canada. However, Mexico is not a member of OPEC or any petroleum production related organizations.

The oil sector is crucial to the Mexican economy; while its importance has been reduced in recent years, oil revenues generate over 10 percent of Mexico's export earnings[1].

[edit] History

Explorers first drilled a petroleum well in Mexico in 1869 but oil was not discovered until after the turn of the twentieth century. By 1901, commercial production of crude oil in Mexico had begun. By 1910 prospectors had identified the Panuco-Ebano and Faja de Oro fields located near the central Gulf of Mexico coast town of Tuxpán. Systematic explorations by foreign companies (mainly American) came to supersede the uncoordinated efforts of speculative prospectors. Mexico became an oil exporting nation in 1911.

In 1938 President Lázaro Cárdenas nationalized the petroleum industry, giving the Mexican government a monopoly in the exploration, production, refining, and distribution of oil and natural gas, and in the manufacture and sale of basic petrochemicals. Between 1938 and 1971, Mexico's oil output expanded at an average annual rate of 6 percent. [2] In 1957, Mexico became a petroleum net importer after domestic demands exceeded domestic production. However, production rose to 177 million barrels by 1971 with the exploitation of new oil fields in the isthmus of Tehuantepec and natural gas reserves near the northeastern border city of Reynosa, but the gap between domestic demand and production continued to widen.

Extensive oil discoveries in the 1970s increased Mexico's domestic output and export revenues. By 2007, Mexico had a net export of 1.756 million barrels of oil per day[3].

[edit] Oil production

PEMEX is Mexico's state-owned petroleum company and the sole supplier of all commercial gasoline (petrol/diesel) stations in the country. Cantarell Field is the largest oil field in Mexico and one of the largest in the world producing. In November 2006, Pemex reported that Cantarell has produced 11,492 million barrels of oil.[4] Several oil fields have also been discovered in the Chicontepec Basin. The Chicontepec fields contains Mexico's largest, certified hydrocarbon reserve, totaling more than 19Bboe with original oil in place of over 139Bboe; recovery is complicated by challenging, low recovery rate reservoirs, but is made more attractive due to the presence of light and super-light oil. [1].

In 2002, the Ku-Maloob-Zaap oil field was discovered offshore in the Bay of Campeche, 105 kilometers from Ciudad del Carmen. PEMEX plans to drill 82 fields and install 17 oil platforms, as well as build an oil pipeline of 166 kilometers to transport the oil produced. By 2011, production is expected to reach 800,000 barrels/day and 282 million cubic feet (8,000,000 m³) of natural gas.

In an interview on the oil news website www.oilcast.com in November 2005, a anonymous PEMEX employee revealed the company's inability to increase production, stating that the country is at Hubbert's Peak. The individual interviewed believed export levels could not be recovered once peak had passed, as the size of current fields that have been discovered or are coming online represent a fraction of the size of the oil fields going into terminal decline.

Annual production has dropped or failed to increase each year since 2004. [2] Furthermore, it has been reported the 2005-2006 daily oil production was down by approximately 500,000 barrels a day on the previous year. Nevertheless, Mexico still produced approximately 3.42 million barrels of oil per day ranking it sixth in the world in terms of total production.[5]

Year Oil Production Rank Percentile Change
2003 3,590,000 5 N/A
2004 3,590,000 5 0.00%
2005 3,460,000 5 -3.62%
2006 3,420,000 6 -1.16%
2007 3,420,000 6 0.00%

Numbers refer to millions of barrels of oil per day.
