Mexican Oil Exports Plunge to 35-Year Low as Debt Hampers Pemex: Bloomberg
- Exports of Mexican crude plummeted to the lowest in more than three decades this month as state oil company Pemex struggles to pay $20 billion of debt to suppliers, hampering its output.
- Oil exports in January plunged 37% from a month earlier to about 577,000b/d, the lowest in data going back to 1990, according to US Customs figures and port schedules compiled by Bloomberg. The sharp decline left US fuelmakers, the top foreign buyers of Mexico’s oil, searching for alternative supplies from Canada and Colombia.
