墨西哥7月原油产量降至历史新低

据9月1日Oil Monster消息：墨西哥7月原油日产量触及历史低点160.5万桶，国营的墨西哥石油公司和新兴的私人生产商的产量均略有下降，使该国石油产量有望达到自20世纪70年代以来的最低水平。

石油监管机构CNH的数据显示，墨西哥石油公司7月日产量仅为154.8万桶，而私营石油公司当月的日产量约为5.7万桶，较6月均有所下降。

根据能源部的数据，该公司7月原油产量为1979年11月以来的最低水平。这家当时处于垄断地位的石油公司的原油日产量为161.5万桶。

自2004年达到340万桶/天的峰值以来，其产量逐年稳步下降，最近还受到今年早些时候油价暴跌、预算削减以及与其他主要产油国为期两个月的减产谈判的打击。

随着具有里程碑意义的2013-2014年能源改革，这家境况不佳的墨西哥石油巨头见证了其垄断地位的终结。该改革首次允许私人生产商自行运营油田。

根据CNH的数据，自今年年初以来，墨西哥的原油产量下降了近7％。

今年7月，墨西哥石油公司的产量约占全国总产量的96%，而意大利埃尼集团和加拿大文艺复兴石油公司等私营企业的产量约占全国总产量的4%。

Mexican crude oil output slips to record low in July

Mexico’s oil output hit a record low in July at 1.605 million barrels per day (bpd), down slightly for both state-run Pemex and upstart private producers and putting the country’s oil patch on track for its lowest production since the 1970s.

Pemex, formally known as Petroleos Mexicanos, produced just 1.548 million bpd in July while private oil companies pumped about 57,000 bpd during the month, both figures down slightly from June, data from oil regulator CNH showed on Tuesday.

Pemex’s July output marks the lowest amount of crude extracted since November 1979, when the then-monopoly producer pumped 1.615 million bpd, according to energy ministry data.

Its production has steadily declined each year since reaching a peak of 3.4 million bpd in 2004, and was most recently hit by an oil price rout earlier this year, budget cuts, as well as a two-month negotiated output cut with other major oil producing countries.

The ailing Mexican oil giant saw its monopoly end with a landmark 2013-2014 energy reform that for the first time allowed private producers to operate oil fields on their own.

Since the beginning of this year, Mexico’s crude oil production has dipped nearly 7%, according to the CNH data.

In July, Pemex produced about 96% of national output, according to the CNH, while the private operators, such as Italy’s Eni and Canada’s Renaissance Oil Corp, contribute around 4%.
