Pemex to import Bakken crude, but for how long?

摘要

Pemex tendered for 2.1MM bbl of Nov.-Dec-delivery Bakken for use largely at its 330K-b/d Salina Cruz refinery. The crude would be delivered in six 350K-bbl cargoes, with Phillips 66 stating on Oct. 23 that is has been awarded a tender to supply four of these six cargoes. Marcos y Asociados estimates that adequate volumes of light crude feedstock could help Mexico raise its crude throughput from 40% to 60%.
