The Mexican oil mixture reached a price of $ 55.33 per barrel This Tuesday, May 6, According to updated data daily on the official website of Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex).
The price of the Mexican mixture of crude export oil, published in the PEMEX portal, is an estimated exclusively for informational purposes. The price is estimated using the price formulas by geographical region with the daily closure of the corresponding contributions.
Information on the state oil website indicates that in 2020 Production was located in a million 705 thousand barrels per day Annual average, exceeding four thousand barrels per day the average annual production of the year 2019 and thus breaking a 15 -year run in production.
Crude oil is classified depending on the API (American Petroleum Institute) degrees, considering values less than 30 as heavy and above 30 are defined as light. In Mexico it is divided into Three types depending on their density: Isthmus, Olmeca and Maya.
According to PEMEX indicators, from oil production in the country, the 54% is considered as heavy raw (Maya)he 33% as light (Isthmus) and the 12% remaining corresponds to Super League (Olmeca).
It is considered that The Mayan mixture is the most competitive of Mexicans being the one with the greatest export, in addition to being used as a substitute mix of the other two. Because it is a “heavy” crude It has a lower performance in gasoline and diesel productionhowever, thanks to this characteristic, it is the main source of energy for energy production for domestic use.
-The isthmusbeing a light crude, can give Greater performance in gasoline production and intermediate distillates (products derived from oil that are obtained in the “medium” boiling interval, between 180 ° C and 360 ° C).
The Olmeca mixture It is considered “extra light”, a characteristic that makes it Useful for the production of lubricants and petrochemicals.
Pemex experienced a increase in its hydrocarbon productionreaching an annual average of 1,855 million barrels of oil per day. This volume represents an increase of 5.1%, equivalent to 91,000 barrels per day, compared to the 1,764 million barrels that produced throughout 2022.
According to the figures presented by the state productive company in December, they point out that during 2023, production never decreased from 1.8 million barrels per day. In the last month of the year, the daily production was 1,826 million barrelson average.
The increase in production is mainly attributed to the operation of wells in new oil fields, especially Quesqui and Tupilco. In January 2023, the State producer managed to exceed the mark of 1.8 million barrels per day, reaching its maximum capacity for sexennium extraction, a level that held throughout the rest of the year.
