Rudesindo Cantarell Jiménez (1914-1997), is best known for discovering the most important oil field in Mexico, now known as the Cantarell Field.

While he sailed in the boat "Carmen's Centenary" on july of 1961 in a pilgrimage to the Virgin of the Carmen, he was struck by a stain comming out of the sea.

When in 1968 he arrived at the city of Coatzacoalcos to sell huachinango, he had a talk with a friend who worked in the oil industry, who recommended him to report his finding to Mexican Oils (better known today as Pemex)
