墨西哥当选总统计划新建价值80亿美元的炼厂

    中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社墨西哥城报道，墨西哥当选总统Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador周二表示，墨西哥下一届政府计划建造一座可能成为该国最大的炼油厂，并将于明年尽快开工。

    7月份总统大选的获胜者正在寻求结束墨西哥大量燃料进口的问题，而这些燃料几乎都来自美国，同时在他六年任期的前半期，他将推动国内炼油业的发展。

    Lopez Obrador在广播评论中对北部城市蒙特雷的一群商界领袖说：“这将是一座每天生产40万桶汽油，成本大约为80亿美元的炼油厂，我们希望在三年内建成。

    墨西哥目前最大的炼油厂是每天生产33万桶的Salina Cruz，它位于墨西哥南部瓦哈卡州，由墨西哥国家石油公司Pemex拥有和运营。墨西哥的炼油设备目前每天最多可以处理160万桶的原油,它今年的工作效率约为40%。

    Lopez Obrador的下任能源部长Rocio Nahle在今年二月份接受路透社采访时表示，下一届政府希望增加30到60万桶/日的原油加工能力。Lopez Obrador此前曾表示，新炼油厂将在墨西哥南部墨西哥湾沿岸的塔巴斯科州的多斯博卡斯（DosBocas）建造。

    根据美国政府和墨西哥政府的数据，墨西哥的原油产量约为184万桶/天，其中60%以上是出口的，而墨西哥进口的炼油产品（包括汽油和柴油），则超过100万桶/天。

    今年7月，Pemex的六家国内炼油厂每天生产约213,000桶汽油。

    Mexico's president-elect sets out plan for new $8 billion oil refinery

    Mexico’s next government plans to build what could be the country’s largest oil refinery,

    with construction set to begin as soon as next year, President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez

    Obrador said on Tuesday.

    The winner of July’s presidential election is seeking to end Mexico’s massive fuel

    imports, nearly all of which come from the United States, while boosting domestic refining

    during the first half of his six-year term.

    “It will be a refinery that will produce 400,000 barrels per day of gasoline with an

    approximate cost of $8 billion that we want to build in three years,” Lopez Obrador told a

    group of business leaders in the northern city of Monterrey, in broadcast comments.

    Mexico’s largest refinery at present is the 330,000-barrel-per-day Salina Cruz, owned and

    operated by state-run oil company Pemex [PEMX.UL] in the southern state of Oaxaca.

    Mexico’s refining network can process up to 1.6 million bpd of crude. It has been working

    this year at around 40 percent.

    Rocio Nahle, Lopez Obrador’s pick to be the next energy minister, told Reuters in February

    that the next government wanted to add crude processing capacity of between 300,000 and

    600,000 bpd.

    Lopez Obrador has previously said the new refinery will be built in Dos Bocas, Tabasco,

    along Mexico’s southern Gulf coast.

    Mexico produces about 1.84 million bpd of crude, more than 60 percent of which is exported,

    while it imports over 1 million bpd of refined products, including gasoline and diesel,

    according to U.S. and Mexican government data.

    In July, Pemex’s six domestic refineries produced about 213,000 bpd of gasoline.
