墨西哥国内燃料供应短缺情况恶化纺丝机

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社墨西哥城1月11日消息，墨西哥总统表示，墨西哥主要的炼油厂已经关闭，因为政府采取的打击从输油管道盗窃汽油的行动给全国各地的石油终端供应配送带来了压力。

墨西哥国家石油公司Pemex旗下炼油厂产量的下降迫使该公司更严重地依赖进口汽车燃料来满足国内需求。墨西哥总统奥夫拉多尔已承诺，一旦国内产量增加，将削减汽油和柴油的进口量。

奥夫拉多尔表示，墨国油旗下炼油厂已经关闭了一段时间。墨国油17.7万桶/日的Madero炼油厂已经“很液压冲床长时间”没有生产燃料，而28.5万桶/日的Minatitlan炼油厂“停产或产量很少”。

墨国油高压电源在墨西哥拥有并运营六家炼油厂，合计原油加工能力为163万桶/日，去年的产能利用率还不到一半。

总统称，墨国油最大的炼厂33万桶/天加工能力的Salina Cruz炼油厂最近刚刚恢复生产，但未提供更多细节。

墨国油最新公布的数据显示，这家位于南部瓦哈卡州海岸的炼油厂去年11月的汽油日产量约为5.2万桶。该工厂2014年的汽油日产量约为9.1万桶。

根据官方数据，墨国油旗下炼油厂目前汽油日产量约为20万桶，另有60万桶需要进口，几乎全部来自美国炼厂。

奥夫拉多尔表示:“我们有足够的汽油储备，运送汽油的船只正在抵达，我们有足够的燃料。”

尽管如此，自本周早些时候以来，墨西哥首都和几个州的加油站仍排起了长长的司机队伍，原因是政府对燃油盗窃的打击导致燃油分销电缆挂钩放缓，主要是通过铁路和卡车进行配送。

Falling Mexican fuel production adds to ongoing shortages

Key Mexican oil refineries are shut down, Mexico’s president said, as the government’s drive to stamp out gasoline theft from pipelines is pressuring the distribution of supplies from terminals across the country.

Declining output at refineries owned and operated by state-run oil company Petroleos Mexicanos, known as Pemex, is forcing the firm to meet demand by relying more heavily on imported motor fuels, which President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has pledged to cut once more gasoline and diesel can be produced at home.

“There are (Pemex) refineries that have been shut down for a while,” said Lopez Obrador at his morning news conference.

The company恒力弹簧’s 177,000 barrel per day (bpd) Madero refinery has not produced fuel in a “long time,” while the 285,000-bpd Minatitlan refinery is “shut down or producing little,” he said.

Pemex owns and operates six oil refineries in Mexico with a joint capacity of 1.63 million bpd of crude processing, which last year worked below half capacity.

Pemex’s largest refinery, the 330,000-bpd Salina Cruz, just recently resumed production, the president said, without offering further details.

The refinery, located on the coast of southern Oaxaca state, was producing about 52,000 barrels per day (bpd) of gasoline in November, according to the most recent published Pemex data. The facility produced about 91,000 bpd of gasoline in 2014.

Overall, Pemex’s refineries are producing about 200,000 bpd of gasoline according to official numbers, while another 600,000 bpd are being imported, almost all of which comes from U.S. refiners.

“We have enough (gasoline) reserves, ships are arriving, we have enough fuel, that’s why we’re meeting this challenge,” said Lopez Obrador.

Still, long lines of drivers are forming at gas stations in the Mexican capital, as well as in several states, since earlier this week as the government crackdown on fuel theft has led to slower fuel distribution, primarily by rail and trucks.
