墨西哥新總統表示將投資逾110億擴大煉油產能

中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社墨西哥城8月14日消息，墨西哥新當選總統Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador表示，他的政府將投資逾110億美元用于煉油擴能，以抑制日益增加的燃料進口量。
將于12月1日就任墨西哥總統的Lopez Obrador告訴記者，他的政府計劃投資26億美元對現有由墨西哥國家石油公司PEMEX擁有和運營的國內煉油廠進行現代化改造，同時將在未來三年時間內投資84億美元新建一座煉油廠。
墨西哥是拉美最大的原油出口國之一，同時也是美國成品油最大的進口國。該國下一任總統已經誓言提升煉油能力。
墨國油當前在墨西哥國內擁有六座煉油廠，合計加工能力約160萬桶/日，但是今年截止目前，這些煉油廠的開工率水平僅為約40%。同時受煉油廠計劃和非計劃停工的影響，近幾個月來，墨西哥的汽油和柴油進口量已經大幅增加。

Mexico’s Lopez Obrador pledges more than $11B for refineries Mexican President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said his administration will invest more than $11 billion to boost refining capacity in order to curb growing fuel imports. Lopez Obrador, who will take office on Dec. 1, told reporters his government plans to invest $2.6 billion to modernize existing domestic refineries owned and operated by national oil company Pemex and spend another $8.4 billion to build a new one within three years. Mexico is among Latin America’s largest crude exporters but is also the biggest importer of U.S. refined products. The country’s next president has pledged to lift refining capacity, which he says has declined due to corruption and neglect. Pemex, formally known as Petroleos Mexicanos, has six domestic refineries with a total processing capacity of some 1.6 million barrels per day (bpd), but the facilities are only operating at about 40 percent of capacity so far this year. Meanwhile, gasoline and diesel imports have sky-rocketed in recent months amid planned and unplanned refinery stoppages. ?
