OIL
Mexico’s Pemex has cut its crude exports to the lowest level on record as the government looks to redirect crude to its domestic refineries, according to Bloomberg.
- Pemex exported 686.8k b/d in March, the lowest level since Pemex began tracking the data in January 1990.
- This represents a fall of 27% on the month.
- On April 1, Bloomberg reported that Pemex was cancelling export contracts for crude to keep supply domestically.
- The Americas was the region most affected by the drop in exports, down 34% on the month to 403.15k b/d.
- Exports to Europe fell 17%, while exports to the Far East were down 9%.
- Mexico’s President AMLO insists that Pemex will meet all of Mexico’s gasoline and diesel demand, but Pemex continues to be set by multimillion dollar losses.
- The new 340k b/d Dos Bocas refinery continues to be set with delays.
