REFINING

Pemex domestic refineries increased utilisation rates to the highest since May 2017, according to company data compiled by Bloomberg.

  • Utilisation rates rose to 58.6% in January compared to 50.6% in December. Mexico’s six refineries have name plate total capacity of 1.627m b/d.
  • The new 340k b/d Olmeca refinery began operations in September, but Pemex did not disclose data for it. Mexico’s President said on X that it should start producing fuels by Feb. 28 while Bloomberg headlines this week suggest diesel and gasoline production in the coming weeks.
