It is estimated that by 2022 1 and a half million barrels will be processed in the country’s refineries and 435 thousand barrels will be exported.
Mexico is heading towards energy self-sufficiency, projecting that by 2023 and 2024 100 percent of Mexican crude will be refined in the country, said Octavio Romero Oropeza, head of Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex).
“By 2023 and by 2024 all of Pemex’s production will be processed, it will be refined, because the Dos Bocas refinery and the Cangrejera project will come into operation, practically 100 percent of Mexican crude will be refined in our country to guarantee the supply of fuels ”, he specified.
When presenting the decalogue that Pemex will follow in the remainder of the López Obrador administration in order to stabilize the price of fuels, the head of the Mexican parastatal explained the distribution model of liquid hydrocarbons to the National Refining System (SNR) that will allow the country to be self-sufficient in energy matters.
