MOSCOW (MRC) -- Mexican national oil company Pemex is currently processing about 9 percent more crude oil at its domestic refineries than it did in 2017, as per Hydrocarbonprocessing with reference to Chief Executive Officer Carlos Trevino.
Trevino told reporters that current processing levels stand at about 834 Mbpd, which compares to crude processing of about 767 Mbpd last year, according to Pemex.
The executive, who took the reins of the state-run company in November, said he expects processing levels to reach about 900 Mbpd once maintenance plans at two facilities are completed.
