It expects to cut Maya exports by almost half between next year and 2022 and lower them again between 2022 and 2023, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the information hasn’t been made public.</p> <p>A Pemex representative didn’t respond to a request for comment.</p> <p>AMLO swept into power in December 2018 promising to rescue Pemex by dialing back his predecessor’s 2013-2014 energy reforms, which had ended the company’s nearly eight decades-long monopoly. He has also pledged to ramp up domestic fuel production to reduce dependence on gasoline imports, which account for about 65% of what Pemex sells in Mexico.</p> <p>At the heart of this policy is a new refinery that will process Maya.

But exports of heavier grades have fallen as Pemex struggles to reverse 15 consecutive years of output declines. In July, the company exported 888,000 barrels a day of heavy crudes including Maya, Altamira and Talam, a 23% drop from a year earlier. Maya represented almost 80% of Pemex’s crude shipments in August, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.</p> <p>Earlier this week, a congressman from Mexico’s ruling Morena party proposed to return to some of the old wording of the constitution, before it was changed to boost private participation in oil drilling under Mexico’s energy reform. The bill comes after AMLO said in an August memorandum that Mexico may need to change the rules governing the country’s energy industry and reverse the opening to private companies to save Pemex.</p> <p><em>© 2020 Bloomberg L.P.</em></p> ", "headline": "Pemex Sees Plunge in Oil Exports", "about": { "@type": "Thing", "description": "Petroleos Mexicanos expects a drastic drop in oil exports over the next three years." }, "articleSection": "Company_Operations", "mainEntityOfPage": "https://web.archive.org/web/20200923160033/https://www.rigzone.com/news/wire/pemex_sees_plunge_in_oil_exports-18-sep-2020-163332-article/", "image": "//web.archive.org/web/20200923160033/https://images.rigzone.com/images/news/articles/163332_582x327.png", "publisher": { "@type": "organization", "name": "rigzone.com", "url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20200923160033/https://www.rigzone.com", "description": "oil and gas news", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20200923160033/https://images.rigzone.com/images/rigzone-logo-a.png", "height": "60", "width": "225" } }, "author": { "@type": "person", "name": "Bloomberg" }, "audience": { "@type": "Audience", "audienceType": "BusinessAudience" } } </script> <script type="text/javascript"> //cannot be deleted unitl fix all the code var _gaq = _gaq || [];
