石油设备网讯 据石油世界网2019年3月13日休斯敦报道，BP负责下游业务的首席执行官图凡•埃尔金比尔奇周二在休斯敦表示，由于墨西哥国内管道和终端短缺，BP正计划进入这个北美国家的成品油中游市场，但BP在墨西哥没有任何的炼油计划。
埃尔金比尔奇在由IHS Markit在休斯敦举办的CERAWeek会议上表示：“我们希望在墨西哥实现增长，不仅在零售领域，而且还在中游领域并在墨西哥的中游领域进行投资。”
不过，他在会议间隙表示， BP目前没有考虑进入墨西哥的炼油行业。
据英国《金融时报》周二的一篇报道，墨西哥财政部副部长日前表示，墨西哥的多斯博卡斯炼油厂项目已被搁置，拨给这个炼油厂项目的资金现已转向支持墨西哥的上游领域。
埃尔金比尔奇在CERAWeek会议上表示：“炼油项目对墨西哥来说仍是一件好事。这是因为墨西哥越来越短缺成品油。”
上周有消息称，BP计划在5年内在墨西哥开发10个成品油终端，从位于美国中西部、德克萨斯州和华盛顿州的炼油厂进口燃料。

BP will enter refined products midstream market but has no refining plans in Mexico
BP is planning on entering Mexico's refined products midstream market because of a shortage of pipelines and terminals, but has no refining plans in the country, Tufan Erginbilgic, chief executive of downstream at BP, said Tuesday.
"We would like to grow in Mexico, not only in retail but also in midstream, and invest in midstream as well," he said at the CERAWeek by IHS Markit conference.
However, "at this point, [they] don't have any consideration" in entering the refining sector in Mexico, he said on the sidelines of the conference.
According to a report from the Financial Times Tuesday, Mexico's deputy finance minister said the country's Dos Bocas refinery project was being put on hold, with funding for the plant instead moved to finance Mexico's upstream.
The "refining project is still a good thing to do for the country," said Erginbilgic at CERAWeek. "Mexico is getting increasingly short" in refined products, he said.
Erginbilgic's comments followed news last week that BP plans to develop 10 refined products terminals within five years in Mexico, importing fuel from its refineries in the US Midwest, Texas and Washington state.
