Pemex Refinery Runs Fall Again to 51.8% in May

REFINING

Oil processing at Mexico’s Pemex domestic refineries were reduced again in May to 51.8% as the impact of the Minatitlan refinery fire in April lingers, according to Bloomberg based on company data.

  • Runs have fallen from an eight year high of 65.3% in March and compared to 58.4% in April. Mexico’s six refineries have nameplate total capacity of 1.627mb/d.
  • Runs have also fallen as the Tula refinery was ordered by environmental authorities to curtail runs due to deteriorating air quality in the area surrounding the capital. Tula was ordered to reduce rates on 18 days in May.
  • Salamanca also reported a sulphuric acid leak from the catalytic plant in the last week of the month.
