In nine months accumulated losses reach 87.5% of what the company lost in 2013, which was 13 billion Dollars. The Mexican Stock Exchange explains that these year’s losses are because of lower amounts of exported crude and a reduction of 8.4% in the “Mexican Mix”. (This article was written before the significant drop in oil prices in the 4Q of 2014).
Rodolfo Campos, Deputy Director of the Pemex Treasury, stated that price adjustments by global oil producers negatively impacted the Mexican Mix, which went from $100/barrel in the 3Q of 2013 to $92 in 3Q of 2014 (the Mexican Mix is hovering around $40 per barrel at the beginning of 1Q 2015).
“It is possible that if current world tendencies continue large investments could be deferred,” he told a group of investors.
Crude Exports
Daily crude exports averaged 1.12 MBD for 2014 while the average for the same period in 2013 was 1.17 MBD. This reduction is caused by lower sales to the US market.
The company is reporting a loss of 4.4B for 3Q 2014.
