石油设备网讯 据今日油价网站5月14日消息 普氏能源援引墨西哥财政部长卡洛斯·乌尔祖亚的话报道称，墨西哥政府已经批准了一项财政刺激措施，该措施可能会使墨西哥国家石油公司的石油产量提高40万桶/日。
这项措施涉及与香港汇丰、摩根大通和瑞穗证券等签订信贷协议。这位官员表示，根据新条款，55亿美元的贷款期限将延长两年，现有债务中约25亿美元将进行再融资。
这笔资金将用于在目前不景气的老化油田继续开采石油。为此，该措施下涉及的老油田将转移至前墨西哥政府作为2014年通过的全面能源改革的一部分引入的生产共享协议中。
墨西哥一直在努力扭转由于投资不足和急需新发现的减少而导致的原油产量稳步下降的局面。前任政府试图通过打破Pemex在市场上的垄断地位，并邀请国外公司在海上进行勘探石油和天然气来解决这个问题。
然而，与此同时，新政府也和前任一样渴望增加产量：承诺到任期结束时，墨西哥原油产量将达到250万桶/日，接近2013年的平均水平252万桶/日。新政府还宣布，将债务再融资和减税相结合，为负债累累的墨西哥国家石油公司提供36亿美元的生命线。
墨西哥国家石油公司的数据显示，该公司2018年的原油平均产量为181.3万桶/日。相比之下，2013年平均产量为252.2万桶/日，2017年降至194.8万桶/日。

Mexico Approves Stimulus Measure To Boost Oil Production By Up To 400,000 Bpd
The Mexican government has approved a fiscal stimulus measure that could see Pemex raise oil production by as much as 400,000 bpd, S&P Global Platts reports, quoting the country’s Finance Minister, Carlos Urzua.
The legislation concerns a credit agreement with a group of lenders including HSBC, JP Morgan, and Mizuho Securities. Under the new terms, the maturity of a loan of US$5.5 billion will be extended by two years and some US$2.5 billion in existing debt will be refinanced, the official said.
The money will be used to boost oil production at ageing fields that are currently uneconomical to continue exploiting. To do this, the fields that the measure covers will be migrated from legacy assignment titles to production sharing agreements that were introduced by the previous Mexican government as part of a sweeping energy reform passed in 2014.
Mexico has been struggling to reverse a steady decline in its crude oil production resulting from insufficient investment and the consequent decline in much needed new discoveries. The previous government tried to solve the problem by removing Pemex’s monopoly position on the market and inviting foreign companies to explore for oil and gas on and offshore.
At the same time, however, the new administration is just as eager as their predecessors to increase production: promised that by the end of his term in office, Mexico will produce almost 2.5 million bpd of crude – a level close to the 2013 average of 2.522 million bpd.The new government has also announced a lifeline for heavily indebted Pemex of US$3.6 billion, combining debt refinancing and tax cuts.
Pemex figures show the company’s crude oil production averaged 1.813 million bpd in 2018. To compare, production averaged 2.522 million bpd in 2013, falling to 1.948 million bpd in 2017.
