石油设备网讯 据路透社墨西哥城5月13日报道，评级机构穆迪周一表示，墨西哥政府委托国营石油公司墨西哥国家石油公司（墨国油/Pemex）建造的新炼油厂，由于其有限的技术，预算可能比政府估计的至少超出20亿美元至40亿美元。
上周，墨西哥表示，计划在墨西哥湾沿岸Dos Bocas港耗资80亿美元建造的炼油厂将于下月初动工，并于2022年5月完工。
该评级机构称，在没有私营部门专门知识的情况下建造炼油厂的决定“代价高昂”。
穆迪在一份声明中表示：“鉴于政府和墨国油在建造炼油厂方面缺乏经验，该项目可能最终会比政府预期的成本更高，耗时更长，给财政资源带来更多压力。”
该项目是最优先考虑的项目之一，但多次受到投资者和评级机构的批评，因为他们担心该项目将会从墨国油利润更高的勘探和生产业务中转移资金。
该机构补充说，对墨西哥信贷状况的影响在一定程度上取决于墨西哥是否继续削弱市场信心，损害其经济前景。
该国认为这是为了使墨西哥在汽油生产上更加自给自足，并使该国不再依赖不断增长的燃料进口。
周一早些时候，各大银行公布了一项新的金融计划，旨在改善墨国油的资产负债表，并防止该公司的评级再次下调。
这些措施包括25亿美元的债务再融资，以及55亿美元的信贷额度续期。

Mexico's new oil refinery likely to far exceed budget - Moody's
The new refinery that Mexico’s government has tasked state oil company Pemex to build will likely cost at least $2 billion to $4 billion more than the government estimates due to its “limited know-how,” credit rating agency Moody’s said on Monday.
Last week, Mexican said the refinery, slated to be built at the Gulf coast port of Dos Bocas for $8 billion, will break ground early next month and be completed by May 2022.
The ratings agency described the decision to build the refinery without private sector expertise as one that would be “costly.”
“Given the government’s (and Pemex’s) lack of experience in building refineries, the project is likely to end up costing more and taking longer than the government anticipates, placing further strains on fiscal resources,” Moody’s said in a statement.
“The pledge to maintain fiscal responsibility appears increasingly in tension with its ambitious social and infrastructure spending agenda,” Moody’s said.
The implications for Mexico’s credit profile will partly depend on whether it continues to undermine market confidence, hurting its economic prospects, the agency added.
The government defended the project as needed to make Mexico more self-sufficient in production of gasoline, and wean the country off growing fuel imports.
Earlier on Monday, Lopez Obrador unveiled a new financial package with major banks designed to improved Pemex’s balance sheet and head off a fresh ratings downgrade of the firm.
The measures include $2.5 billion in debt refinancing, and a renewal of $5.5 billion worth of credit lines.
