«HOUSTON (Notimex).— Una decena de refinerías en Houston y la costa sureste de Texas, incluida una de la petrolera Shell en copropiedad con Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex), suspendieron operaciones ante las catastróficas inundaciones generadas por la tormenta “Harvey”.»
«El cierre de las refinerías reducirá significativamente el suministro de gasolina en todo Estados Unidos durante las próximas semanas, lo que se reflejara en los precios de los combustibles.»
«Los precios al mayoreo de la gasolina se han incrementado en 10% desde el domingo, de acuerdo con la firma Oil Price Information Service (OPIS), que monitorea los precios de los carburantes.»
«Sin embargo, podría pasar aún una semana antes de que el aumento en los precios se refleje en las bombas al consumidor, indico OPIS.»
«Dependiendo de la ubicación geográfica, los precios podrían aumentar entre 15 y 40 centavos de dólar el galón (3.78 litros), estimó la firma.»
«Las inundaciones han forzado el recorte de alrededor del 16% de la capacidad total de refinación en Estados Unidos, lo que significa que se dejó de producir 785 mil galones de gasolina diarios.»
«Según los analistas, el lento avance de la tormenta y la persistencia de la misma en la zona podría prolongar el cese de operaciones en las refinerías y generar que los precios de los combustibles sigan subiendo.»
«Entre las refinerías que dejaron de operar desde el domingo se incluye la de “Shell Deer Park”, una de las más grandes de las 137 que operan actualmente en Estados Unidos al procesar 340 mil barriles de petróleo por día y emplear a unos mil 700 trabajadores.»
«La planta opera desde 1993 como una empresa de inversión conjunta 50-50 entre Shell Oil Company y Pemex. México importa más de la mitad del crudo procesado en el sitio.»
Pérdidas
«Según un boletín de Banco Base, el petróleo finalizó la sesión de ayer con fuertes pérdidas por las devastaciones que hasta ahora ha causado el huracán “Harvey”.»
«Ante esto, el petróleo terminó la sesión cotizando en 46.76 dólares por barril, lo cual equivale a un retroceso de 2.32%, mientras que el Brent finalizó con un retroceso en su precio de 0.76% cotizando en 52.01 dólares por barril. Por su parte, la mezcla mexicana finalizó la semana previa cotizando en 45.75 dólares por barril, lo cual equivale a un incremento de 0.99%.»
«Para el caso de México, se prevé que el precio de las gasolinas incremente, dado el nivel de las importaciones desde Estados Unidos respecto a combustibles, minerales y sus productos, el 70.2% son del estado de Texas, porcentaje que sube a 82.9% cuando se consideran exclusivamente las gasolinas.»
«De seguirse observando lluvias que continúen deteriorando la capacidad de refinación en Texas y Luisiana, estado que es el segundo mayor refinador de petróleo en Estados Unidos, es probable que el precio del petróleo se dirija hacia su soporte de 42.50 dólares por barril.»
«Mexico’s lucky escape from Hurricane Harvey could still mean higher fuel costs and shortages ahead for the no. 1 of U.S. gasoline.» «While the storm passed relatively harmlessly over Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, it strengthened to a Category 4 hurricane before making landfall in Texas near the U.S. Gulf Coast’s refinery hub that helps feed Mexico’s transportation system.» «Last month, imports generated 72 percent of Pemex’s gasoline sales at a time when its six refineries operated at the lowest volume since December 1990. The outlook isn’t much better ahead, with output from two of the state-owned company’s refineries either severely curtailed or shut down. Meanwhile, Harvey may dump as much as 35 inches of rain on areas of Texas over the next week, according to the National Hurricane Center.» «If damage in the U.S. “is as extensive as it could be, then we are looking at a pretty serious crunch on Mexico’s fuel supply,” said Javier Alonso, an analyst at Americas Market Intelligence, by telephone. “Expect fuel prices to go up regardless of where they get their supply from.”» «Mexico was the largest buyer of U.S. refined products in May at 879,000 barrels a day, some 17 percent of total U.S. exports, according to the U.S. Energy Information Agency.» «Harvey slowed to a Category 3 hurricane as it hit the northeastern shore of Copano Bay in Texas, the National Hurricane Center said in an advisory posted about 1 a.m. local time Saturday. It made landfall as a Category 4 storm, the strongest to hit the U.S. since Hurricane Charley in 2004.»
Halting Operations
«The storm is striking a region that has a cluster of refineries that process 5 million barrels of oil a day. By Friday, about 1 million barrels a day of crude and condensate refining capacity in Texas had been shut down by companies including Valero Energy Corp., according to company statements, government releases and people familiar with the situation. About 22 percent of Gulf of Mexico oil production had also been shuttered, along with the port of Corpus Christi, which ships the largest amount of U.S. crude overseas.»
«The Petroleos Mexicanos refinery in Salina Cruz, Oaxaca, the state-owned company’s largest, is undergoing major maintenance following a deadly fire in mid-June that has seen output reduced to a third of its 330,000 barrel-a-day capacity. The 190,000-barrel-a-day refinery in Madero, Tamaulipas, is also scheduled to shut this week for intensive maintenance and will not return to normal operations until the end of December.»
«The next step would be for Pemex to “turn to their suppliers in the Caribbean, U.S. West Coast and Europe, and I would imagine any suppliers in the U.S. Midwest and East Coast,” Alonso said.»
«Pemex guaranteed its fuel supplies in advance of Hurricane Harvey and will not buy additional shipments, said a company spokeswoman who asked not to be identified, citing internal policy. It purchased cargoes that are currently on the way, said the person, without providing the origin or volume of the shipments.»
«Rates for fuel tankers from Europe to the U.S. have surged the most this year as refiners in the Gulf Coast, which accounts for half of the U.S.’s refining capacity, halt operations because of Harvey. Heavy rainfall could result in more than two million barrels of lost production in Texas, Citigroup Inc. said in a research note on Thursday.

«Three gas stations in Tijuana have been selected to be the first in Mexico to sell gasoline and diesel made by San Antonio-based refining company Andeavor Corp.»
«Last month, Andeavor (NYSE: ANDV) announced that it had landed a supply deal with Tijuana-based Professional Fuels Solutions SA de CV, or Profuels. Owned by Tijuana-based convenience store company Grupo ECO, Profuels supplies regular unleaded, premium and diesel to 150 Eco gas stations in northwest Mexico.»
«Profuels spokesman Rodrigo Rodriguez told the Business Journal that Grupo ECO plans to switch all of its gas stations in the states of Baja California and Sonora over to the ARCO brand but the change will begin with a pilot project at the three Tijuana gas stations over the next few weeks.»
«»If everything works perfectly well, we’ll open them in the two states that we operate,» Rodriguez said.»
«As part of its 2014 energy reforms, Mexico is switching over its fuels market a free market system. The reforms are ending state price controls and a monopoly held by state-owned oil company Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex, at the pump.»
«ARCO will be the first brand of gasoline outside of Pemex in Baja California and Sonora,» Rodriguez said. «Right now, all the gasoline sold in Mexico is under the Pemex brand.»
«Regular unleaded at Grupo ECO’s gas stations in Tijuana currently sells for $16.09 pesos per liter, which translates to around $3.44 dollars per gallon. Across the border in San Diego, figures from the fuel price service GasBuddy show that ARCO gas stations there are selling regular unleaded at prices ranging from $2.79 to $3.19 per gallon.»
«We’ll have the most competitive price as possible,» Rodriguez said.
«The move comes at a time when many foreign companies are opening gas stations or entering into distribution and supply deals in Mexico. London-based oil giant BP opened a gas station in a Mexico City suburb were eager drivers endured long lines to fill up their tanks at its debut in March. San Antonio-based refining company Valero Energy Corp. (NYSE: VLO) recently entered into distribution deals that will introduce its brands of gasoline and diesel in Tampico, Monterrey, San Luis Potosi, Veracruz, Puebla and Mexico City. Earlier this month, California-based Chevron Corp. (NYSE: CVX) announced it will open its first gas station in Mexico in the coastal city of Hermosillo.»
«With Andeavor’s refineries and pipelines located across the border in California, Rodriguez said the San Antonio-based company was a perfect fit to supply Grupo ECO gas stations in Baja California and Sonora. The ARCO gas stations in Mexico will use the same gasoline and mirror the look of those in the United States with one exception — under Mexican law, all gas stations must be full-service.»
«It’s like any other American company that has come to Mexico.» Rodriguez said. «When you see an ARCO in Mexico, you can be sure it has the same quality as the ones in the United States.»

«Total is buying Maersk’s oil and gas business in a $7.45 billion deal which the French energy major said would strengthen its operations in the North Sea and boost earnings and cash flow.»
«For Danish company A.P. Moller Maersk, the sale of Maersk Oil, with reserves equivalent to around 1 billion barrels of oil, fits with a strategy of focusing on its shipping business and other activities announced last year.»
«The world’s top oil companies have been back on the takeover trail over the last year, helped by signs of a recovery in the oil market.»
«Total expects its biggest oil deal since it acquired Elf in 2000 to generate financial synergies of more than $400 million per year, in particular by combining assets in the North Sea.»
«Total has been betting on new rather than mature fields in the North Sea and the acquisition gives it further economies of scale by making it the second largest player in the region.»
«The deal illustrates Total’s strategy of using a strong balance sheet to acquire attractive assets from competitors having emerged from the prolonged oil downturn stronger than some of its rivals.»
«»It was time for us to do what a real oil and gas company would do in a period such as this when prices are lower and costs are down. Either launch new projects or acquire new reserves at attractive prices,» Total Chief Executive Patrick Pouyanne told reporters.»
«The purchase also signals some oil majors are prepared to invest to replenish reserves and boost production, anticipating an oil price recovery. With current prices of $50 per barrel most majors are simply struggling to balance their books.»
Alternative to float
«Pouyanne said that Total had proposed a deal to Maersk as an alternative to floating the business.»
«»There was a debate within Maersk and they finally accepted given that it was attractive and also the fact that an IPO in a tense oil market would not be a right move,» he said, adding that no other oil major was bidding for the assets.»
«Under the terms of the deal, A.P. Moller Maersk will get $4.95 billion in Total shares and Total will assume $2.5 billion of Maersk Oil’s debt.»
«Maersk said it plans to return a «material portion of the value of the received Total S.A. shares» to shareholders in 2018 and 2019 in the form of extraordinary dividend, share buyback or distribution of shares in Total.»
«Soren Skou, who took charge of Maersk last year, has embarked on a major restructuring to concentrate on its transport and logistics businesses and separate its energy operations in the face of a drop in income.»
«Skou said he had not decided whether to take up the offer of a seat on the Total board.»
«Analysts at Jefferies said the price was 5 percent ahead of its estimates and 18 percent more than consensus of $6.3 billion.»
«AP Moller Maersk shares were up 3.7 percent by 0900 GMT while Total shares dipped 0.7 percent.»
«The Danish oil company has access to high-quality fields in the Norwegian and UK North Sea.»
«Maersk has a 8.44 percent stake in the giant Johan Sverdrup project led by Norway’s Statoil which is expected to start pumping 440,000 barrels per day in 2019, rising to 660,000 bpd by 2022.»
«Maersk is currently developing the Culzean gas field which is expected to start production in 2019 and which could supply up to 5 percent of Britain’s gas demand.»
«Maersk lost a long-standing agreement to operate Al-Shaheen in Qatar to Total last year, but is according to media reports in talks with Iran to develop the oil layer of the South Pars field, which is an extension of the Qatari field.»
«Total last month signed a major deal with Iran to develop the gas part of South Pars.»
«Total also said it was investing $3.5 billion over five years in Qatar’s offshore Al Shaheen oilfield .»

«U.S. energy sales account for more than 50 percent of Mexico’s current energy imports as Mexican energy reforms open the market and as the country is switching to natural gas-fired electricity production, the Washington Examiner reported on Monday, citing an S&P Global Platts report due to be released this week.»
«“Pipeline imports of U.S. natural gas make up nearly 60 percent of total Mexican natural gas supply, compared to just 22 percent in 2010,” the report, viewed by the Washington Examiner, said.»
«“Platts Analytics expects that U.S. natural gas imports will rise to nearly 70 percent of total supply by 2022,” according to the report.»
«According to the EIA, the U.S.-Mexico energy trade has significantly changed in recent years. Historically, the energy trade has been driven by Mexico’s sales of crude oil to the United States and by U.S. net exports of refined petroleum products to Mexico.»
«The value of U.S. energy exports to Mexico, including rapidly growing volumes of both petroleum products and natural gas, exceeded the value of U.S. energy imports from Mexico in 2015 and 2016, as volumes of Mexican crude oil sold in the United States continued to drop. Last year, the value of U.S. energy exports to Mexico was US$20.2 billion, while the value of U.S. energy imports from Mexico was US$8.7 billion, according to the EIA.»
«According to the S&P Global Platts report, as carried by the Washington Examiner:
“Unable to meet growing demand with local production, Mexico is opening its refined products markets to competition.”
“Imports of U.S. petroleum products over the first four months of 2017 were up over 125 percent year-on-year. Mexico is in the process of expanding its refined products pipelines and terminals, and allowing outside access to existing assets.”»
«In May this year, ExxonMobil announced plans to enter the Mexican fuels market in 2017 by opening its first Mobil service station in central Mexico during the second half, and additional stations will open later this year. ExxonMobil plans to invest about US$300 million in fuels logistics, product inventories, and marketing over the next 10 years.»
«In March, BP opened its first retail fuels site in Mexico as part of a plan to invest in the growing Mexican retail fuel and convenience market over the next five years.»

«CIUDAD DE MÉXICO (apro).- La construcción del Nuevo Puerto de Veracruz “avanza sustancialmente” con la entrega de los contratos de Cesión Parcial de Derechos para las terminales de Fluidos, de Granel Agrícola y de Granel Mineral, aseguró la Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes (SCT).»
«Se trata de la obra portuaria más importante de los últimos 100 años, en la que se invierten 30 mil millones de pesos, subrayó el titular de la dependencia Gerardo Ruiz Esparza.»
«Ante empresarios, constructores, navieros, operadores de terminales portuarias y sindicatos, el funcionario federal destacó la confianza de los inversionistas en México en estos proyectos y en el desarrollo del país, porque se genera crecimiento económico y social, además de empleos y bienestar para la sociedad.»
«Por su parte, el presidente del Consejo de IENOVA México, Carlos Ruiz Sacristán, resaltó la transparencia, eficiencia y profesionalismo con que se realizaron las licitaciones para esta etapa constructiva del puerto, y reconoció el empeño de esta administración para cumplir con el Programa Nacional de Infraestructura.»
«“Yo soy testigo del trabajo que cuesta lograr las obras de infraestructura, pero ese trabajo y esos desvelos valen la pena”, apuntó.»
«De acuerdo con un comunicado de la SCT, las empresas mexicanas ganadoras en la licitación de esas tres terminales –ESJ Renovable III, Gramosa Agroalimentos y Grupo Logra– obtuvieron contratos en los que se comprometen a invertir cerca de 4 mil millones de pesos en los próximos 18 meses.»
«En este sentido, el titular de la SCT señaló que con la construcción del Nuevo Puerto de Veracruz, la capacidad operativa se quintuplicará al pasar de 22 millones de toneladas en el actual Puerto, a 98 millones de toneladas con el nuevo.»
«Acompañado por el coordinador general de Puertos y Marina Mercante, Guillermo Ruiz de Teresa, y por los subsecretarios de Transporte, Yuriria Mascott Pérez, y de Infraestructura, Óscar Callejo Silva, Ruiz Esparza reiteró lo dicho por los inversionistas: que la construcción del nuevo puerto se ha manejado con transparencia y de forma amigable con el medio ambiente.»
«Con el Programa Nacional de Infraestructura impulsado por el presidente Enrique Peña Nieto, el más importante de la historia del país, dijo, se construyen 6 mil 500 kilómetros de nuevas carreteras, se duplica la capacidad operativa de los puertos y se promueve el uso del tren de pasajeros.»
«Afirmó que dentro de este ambicioso programa, la construcción del Nuevo Aeropuerto Internacional de México avanza con un compromiso claro en tiempo y forma de acuerdo con lo programado.»
«Carlos Ruiz Sacristán mencionó que la construcción del Nuevo Puerto era una obra esperada desde hace 20 años, pero por asuntos muy complejos, económicos y sociales, se fue postergando, por lo que su edificación traerá sin duda repercusiones positivas para Veracruz y para todo México.»
«En su oportunidad, el coordinador general de Puertos y Marina Mercante, Guillermo Ruiz de Teresa, coincidió con que hace más de 20 años era urgente ampliar y modernizar el Puerto de Veracruz, y hoy, con la construcción de esta nueva terminal, el Puerto de Veracruz se convertirá en un ícono de México, apuntó.»

«Mexico’s mining and infrastructure firm Grupo Mexico expects to expand its oil-by-rail business by building at least three terminals in Mexico, including one exclusively for U.S. refiner Valero Energy, its chief financial officer told Reuters on Tuesday.»
«Grupo Mexico has been in talks with importers of refined products into Mexico, said Xavier Garcia de Quevedo. Fuel purchases from the United States are a growing business as the Latin American country’s demand for imported products keeps increasing.»
«Earlier this month Valero announced that it had signed a long-term agreement with the company to transport fuels by rail from Veracruz to inland terminals in Mexico.»
«»Our interest is to build and operate the terminals, to offer rail services and (access to) the terminals,» Garcia de Quevedo said.»
«He mentioned Torreon, Chihuahua, Mazatlan, Manzanillo and Guadalajara as potential locations for the new terminals.»
«Grupo Mexico, which operates rail lines in Texas and Florida and has a drilling company called Pemsa that has worked for state-run oil company Pemex, is also considering participating in coming oil auctions in Mexico, especially in shallow water areas.»
«Garcia de Quevedo said the company expects to increase about 40 percent its metal melting capacity in Peru, after the government changed an environmental rule for these activities.»
«Grupo Mexico plans to start production at Los Chancas mining project in Peru, with expected capacity of 90,000 tonnes of copper, in late 2021, he said.»
«Garcia de Quevedo was interviewed at the Reuters Latin America Investment Summit.»

«The development of Mexico’s offshore oil and gas resources is continuing to ramp up, buoyed by the country’s energy reforms, and despite the prolonged market downturn.»
«Several promising new finds have been made in Mexico’s shallow-water regions. In mid-July, Eni announced that its Amoca-3 well in Campeche Bay has proven multiple significant oil intervals in the Orca and Cinco Presidentes formations.»
«The well was drilled in 25 m (82 ft) of water to a TD of 4,330 m (14,206 ft) in Contractual Area 1, 200 km (124 mi) west of Ciudad Del Carmen, 1.5 km (0.9 mi) southwest of Amoca-1 and 3 km (1.8 mi) northwest of Amoca-2.»
«It intersected 410 m (1,345 ft) of net oil pay, 25-27° API, in several high-quality Pliocene reservoir sandstones; 300 m (984 ft) of the pay were in the deeper Cinco Presidentes sequence, in various Pliocene-age clusters.»
«During the production test, 45 m (147 ft) of the Cinco Presidentes reservoir were opened to production with the well flowing 6,000 b/d of 25° API crude. The Amoca-3 well has since been suspended but will be re-entered later for production purposes.»
«Following the results of this latest well, Eni has lifted its estimate of the Amoca field’s in-place reserves to 1 Bboe. Across Area 1 the total estimated resource base is presently 1.3 Bbbl of oil in place, 90% being oil, with further upside.»
«The company plans to submit an accelerated and phased development plan later this year targeting an early production phase with a plateau in the range of 30,000-50,000 b/d, with operations set to start in early 2019.»
«Exploration of Area 1 continues with the first appraisal well on the Miztón discovery, to be followed by other wells either appraising further finds or exploring undrilled prospects.»
«CEO Claudio Descalzi said: “The Amoca field…represents an optimal opportunity for a phased development approach with a low breakeven. It is an ideal project in this low oil price environment.”»
«Descalzi added that “Eni’s objective is to become the first international company to establish operating production in Mexico, which would be the first tangible success of the country’s ‘Reforma energetica’ campaign.”»
«But the biggest news – which also came in mid-July – was when Talos Energy reported that its first exploration well offshore Mexico has discovered potentially large oil volumes in the Zama prospect. Results indicate in-place oil in the range of 1.4-2 Bbbl, above pre-drill estimates, and the structure could extend into a neighboring block. Tests of hydrocarbon samples recovered to the surface revealed light oil, with API gravities between 28° and 30° and some associated gas.»
«The ENSCO 8503 semisubmersible drilling rig spudded the Zama-1 well in block 7 in the Sureste basin on May 21 in 546 ft (166 m) of water, 37 mi (60 km) from the Port of Dos Bocas.»
«Initial analysis suggests the well intersected a contiguous gross oil-bearing interval of more than 1,100 ft (335 m), with 558-656 ft (170-200 m) of net oil pay in Upper Miocene sandstones, and no water contact.»
«At present, the well has reached an initial shallow TVD of around 11,100 ft (3,383 m). A liner is being set to protect the discovered reservoirs, prior to drilling deeper exploratory objectives to a TVD of roughly 14,000 ft (4,200 m).»
«There are no plans for immediate well testing, and further evaluation will be needed to calibrate the well with reprocessed seismic in order to determine future plans and optimal follow up locations for delineation drilling.»
«Talos Energy is in partnership with Sierra Oil and Gas and Premier Oil in blocks 2 and 7, respectively offshore the Veracruz and Tabasco states.»
«The dramatic results of the Zama-1 well led CNH to delay its next deepwater auction by a month, to give international bidders more time to evaluate recent major crude discoveries that highlight the potential value of the assets. The commission has now set Jan. 31 as the date for the next round of auctions for deepwater oil and gas tenders in the Gulf of Mexico.»
«The round 2.4 auctions will offer 30 areas, of which 10 are in the Cordilleras Mexicanas deepwater basin, 10 others in the Salina basin, nine in the Perdido Fold Belt off the US-Mexico maritime border, and one more in the Yucatan platform.»
«The Cordilleras Mexicanas deepwater basin is home to national oil company PEMEX’s Lakach natural gas project, and is located east of the Gulf Coast port of Veracruz. Cordilleras Mexicanas is viewed by the oil and gas industry as having extensive untapped potential. The auction will be the first time the basin has been made available to international oil majors, which for decades have profitably developed other fields in nearby US waters.»
«Mexico’s first deepwater oil auction last December included blocks from the Perdido Fold Belt straddling the US-Mexico maritime border, and the Salina basin further to the south.»
«BOEM to offer 76 million acres in Lease Sale 249»
«The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) says it will offer 75.9 million acres offshore Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida for oil and gas exploration and development in Lease Sale 249.»
«The region-wide lease sale scheduled for Aug. 16, 2017, will include all available unleased areas in federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico and provide a reduced royalty rate for shallow-water leases to encourage exploration and production under current market conditions.»
«Lease Sale 249 will include about 14,220 unleased blocks, located from 3 to 231 mi (5 to 372 km) offshore, in the Gulf’s Western, Central and Eastern planning areas in water depths ranging from 9 to more than 11,115 ft (3 to 3,400 m).»
«Excluded from the lease sale are blocks subject to the Congressional moratorium established by the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006; blocks that are adjacent to or beyond the US Exclusive Economic Zone in the area known as the northern portion of the Eastern Gap; and whole blocks and partial blocks within the current boundary of the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary.»
«Scheduled to be livestreamed from New Orleans, this will be the first offshore sale under the national Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program for 2017-2022. Under this program, 10 region-wide lease sales are scheduled for the Gulf. Two lease sales will be held each year and include all available blocks in the combined Western, Central, and Eastern Gulf of Mexico planning areas.»
«La estatal mexicana Pemex espera estabilizar su procesamiento de crudo en 1.0-1.1 millones de barriles por día (bpd) un su sistema local de refinación a fin del año, tras ejecutar mantenimiento en varias refinerías, dijo el viernes el director general de Pemex Transformación Industrial, Carlos Murrieta.»
«El funcionario precisó que se harán trabajos mayores en las refinerías ubicadas en Minatitlán (estado Veracruz) y en Madero (Tamaulipas), así como uno menor en Tula (Hidalgo) y otro que se está llevando a cabo en Cadereyta (Nuevo León).»
«»Queremos presionar para que en noviembre, a más tardar principios de diciembre, podamos tener el sistema completo», dijo Murrieta en una entrevista en el Reuters Latin American Investment Summit respecto a las seis refinerías de la empresa en el país, que tienen una capacidad de 1.63 millones de bpd y están procesando entre 800,000 y 900,000 bpd.»
«Por otra parte, dijo que la refinería en Salina Cruz, que reinició operaciones a fin de julio tras una larga parada luego de un incendio, procesará unos 220,000 bpd la próxima semana y que está produciendo ya unos 50,000 bpd de productos terminados.»
«El ejecutivo dijo que espera que pronto se reactive la exportación de crudo pesado Maya desde la terminal en Salina Cruz, en el estado Oaxaca, que está en el Pacífico. Estas exportaciones estaban saliendo por otras terminales.»
