據(jù)鉆機地帶12月28日消息，墨西哥計劃在2023年停止原油出口，這是政府實現(xiàn)國內(nèi)燃料市場自給自足戰(zhàn)略的一部分。

墨西哥國家石油公司(Pemex，簡稱墨國油)首席執(zhí)行官奧克塔維奧·羅梅羅周二在墨西哥城舉行的新聞發(fā)布會上表示，墨國油將在2022年將原油出口量減少到每天43.5萬桶，然后在次年逐步停止向海外客戶銷售。

此舉是洛佩斯·奧夫拉多爾擴大墨西哥國內(nèi)燃料生產(chǎn)而不是將石油出口到國外同時進口汽油和柴油等昂貴精煉產(chǎn)品的舉措的一部分。墨西哥目前主要從美國煉油廠購買燃料。

如果墨國油承諾得以兌現(xiàn)，這將標志著其作為過去幾十年里最著名的石油公司之一退出國際石油市場。在2004年的鼎盛時期，墨國油每天向日本和印度的煉油廠出口近190萬桶石油，并以觀察員身份參加了歐佩克的會議。

墨國油的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，上個月該公司向海外銷售的原油日產(chǎn)量略高于100萬桶。

羅梅羅表示，由于墨國油增加了國內(nèi)原油加工，其國內(nèi)原油加工在2022年將達到151萬桶/天，到2023年將達到200萬桶/天，因此將減少出口。這家墨西哥鉆探公司將把所有產(chǎn)量投入其6家煉油廠，包括位于東南部塔巴斯科州的一座在建設(shè)施，以及得克薩斯州休斯敦附近正在收購的另一座設(shè)施。即使位于美國邊境，該工廠也被視為墨西哥煉油系統(tǒng)的一部分。

預計占墨西哥原油出口四分之一以上的亞洲煉油廠將首當其沖地受到出口削減的影響。減產(chǎn)將對韓國和印度的煉油廠造成最嚴重的沖擊，而美國和歐洲的煉油廠預計減產(chǎn)幅度較小，因為墨國油放棄了早些時候從美國市場轉(zhuǎn)向多元化的計劃。

Mexico to Stop Exporting Oil in 2023

Mexico plans to end crude oil exports in 2023 as part of a strategy by the government to reach self-sufficiency in the domestic fuels market.

Petroleos Mexicanos, the Mexican state-owned producer known as Pemex, will reduce crude oil exports to 435,000 barrels a day in 2022 before phasing out sales to clients abroad the following year, Chief Executive Officer Octavio Romero said during a press conference in Mexico City on Tuesday. 

The move is part of a drive by Lopez Obrador to expand Mexico’s domestic production of fuels instead of sending its oil abroad while it imports costly refined products, like gasoline and diesel. Mexico currently buys the bulk of the fuels it consumes from U.S. refineries.

If fulfilled, Pemex’s pledge will mark the withdrawal from the international oil market by one of it’s most prominent players of the past decades. At its peak in 2004, Pemex exported almost 1.9 million barrels a day to refineries from the Japan to India, and was a participant in meetings by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries as observer.

Last month, the Mexican company sold abroad slightly more than one million daily barrels, according to Pemex data.

The export reduction will come as Pemex increases its domestic crude processing, which will reach 1.51 million barrels a day in 2022 and 2 million daily barrels in 2023, Romero said. The Mexican driller will plow all of its production into its six refineries, including a facility under construction in the southeastern state of Tabasco and another one being bought near Houston, Texas. This plant is considered part of Mexico’s refining system even if located across the U.S. border.  

Asian refineries, which account for more than a quarter of Mexican crude exports, are expected to bear the brunt of the export cuts. 

The reductions are expected to hit refiners in South Korea and India the hardest, with smaller cuts seen to buyers in the U.S. and Europe, as Pemex backtracks on earlier plans to diversify away from the U.S. market.
