墨国油寻求扭转原油产量连续15年下滑局面

中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯墨西哥城7月17日消息，墨西哥政府官员周二表示，墨西哥国家石油公司Pemex计划在未来三年内利用税收减免和政府支持增加投资，以提高过去15年一直在下降的石油产量。

墨国油首席执行长Octavio Romero在公布外界期待已久的商业计划纲要时表示，该公司的目标是在今年12月之前将原油日产量稳定在171万桶，并逐年提高产量，到2024年日产量将达到近270万桶。

今年前5个月，墨国油的原油日产量平均为167万桶，而2018年全年的日均产量为182万桶。自2004年日产量达到创纪录的340万桶以来，该公司原油日产量一直在稳步下滑。

墨西哥政府计划将墨国油向财政部缴纳的利润分成税从目前的65%下调至2020年的58%，并在2021年进一步下调至54%。这项税收优惠将使墨国油明年的投资资金增加约24亿美元，2021年增加44亿美元。

Pemex Seeks to Reverse 15-Year Decline in Oil Output

Mexican state oil company Petrleos Mexicanos plans to ramp up investment with tax breaks and government support over the next three years to raise oil production that has been declining for the past 15 years, government officials said Tuesday.

In presenting an outline of the company's long-awaited business plan, Pemex Chief Executive Octavio Romero said It aims to stabilize crude oil production this year at 1.71 million barrels a day by December, and to increase that each year to reach almost 2.7 million barrels a day in 2024.

Pemex's crude output averaged 1.67 million barrels a day in the first five months of the year, compared with 1.82 million barrels a day in all of 2018. Production has fallen steadily since 2004, when it had reached a record 3.4 million barrels a day.

The government plans to lower a profit-sharing tax that Pemex, as a state-owned company, pays to the treasury to 58% in 2020 from the current 65%, and cut it further the following year to 54%. The tax break will give Pemex around $2.4 billion more to invest next year and $4.4 billion in 2021.
