No new refineries in Mexico: energy ministry

摘要

Mexico will not build any new oil refineries, energy minister Joaquin Coldwell said late last week, confirming a widely held view that earlier government plans to install a new 300,000 b/d plant in Hidalgo state make no commercial sense. “Pemex’s business plan looks at renovating existing refineries in Salina Cruz, Minatitlan, Cadereyta and Tula,” said Coldwell, who was speaking at a 3 October conference on energy and technology in Guanajuato.
