據油價網8月29日報道，7月墨西哥國家石油公司（Pemex）的石油加工較前一個月大幅增長，而原油出口略有增長，這與此前削減出口、專注于國內市場的國家政策相反。

根據這家國有石油公司的最新報告顯示，7月份的石油日均加工量為82萬桶，較6月份增長15%，較2021年7月增長29%。但是，7月份的數字仍然低于政府和墨國油為2022年底設定的100萬桶/日的目標。

石油產量仍接近170萬桶/天，也低于2022年190萬桶/天的目標。

去年，墨西哥政府宣布了一項相當激進的逐步減少石油進口的計劃，推翻了2013年寫入憲法的一項重大改革計劃。

美國是墨西哥最大的石油出口市場，這個拉美國家在2021年每天向美國煉油廠出售71萬桶石油，但同時每天進口116萬桶石油。

但高油價和包括高通脹在內的不確定經濟前景可能會導致墨西哥政府擱置這些計劃。

盡管出口量下降5%至568萬桶，但石油和天然氣價格高企幫助墨國油今年上半年實現凈利潤127億美元，而2021年上半年則虧損11.5億美元。在此期間，墨西哥原油均價為每桶97.80美元，在地緣政治沖突后不久的3月份達到119.62美元的峰值。高額利潤促使AMLO宣布墨國油“曾經破產，現在正在重生”。

Pemex Sees Sizeable Increase In Crude Processing In July

Oil processing at Mexico’s national oil company Pemex increased substantially in July from the previous month, while crude exports rose slightly in a reversal of earlier national policy to cut exports and focus on the domestic market. 

According to the state-owned oil company's most recent report, average oil processing for July stood at 820,128 barrels per day (bpd), up 15% from June and a rise of 29% from July 2021. However, the July figure is still below the target of 1 million bpd set by the government and Pemex for the end of 2022.

Oil production remained close to 1.7 million bpd, also below the target of 1.9 million bpd for 2022.

Last year, the Mexican government announced a rather radical plan to phase down oil imports, reversing a major reform plan enshrined in the constitution in 2013. 

The U.S. is Mexico’s largest oil export market, with the Latin American nation selling American refineries 710,000 barrels per day in 2021 but also importing 1.16 million b/d.

But high oil prices and an uncertain economic outlook including high inflation might see those plans shelved by the Mexican government.

High oil and gas prices helped Pemex report net profit of $12.7 billion for the first six months of the current year compared with a loss of $1.15 billion in the first half of 2021 despite export volumes falling 5% to 5.68 million barrels. A barrel of Mexican crude averaged $97.80 during the period, with prices peaking in March to $119.62 shortly after the war. The high profits prompted AMLO to declare that Pemex, “was in bankruptcy and it is now being reborn.”
