據9月1日Oil Monster消息：墨西哥7月原油日產量觸及歷史低點160.5萬桶，國營的墨西哥石油公司和新興的私人生產商的產量均略有下降，使該國石油產量有望達到自20世紀70年代以來的最低水平。

石油監管機構CNH的數據顯示，墨西哥石油公司7月日產量僅為154.8萬桶，而私營石油公司當月的日產量約為5.7萬桶，較6月均有所下降。

根據能源部的數據，該公司7月原油產量為1979年11月以來的最低水平。這家當時處于壟斷地位的石油公司的原油日產量為161.5萬桶。

自2004年達到340萬桶/天的峰值以來，其產量逐年穩步下降，最近還受到今年早些時候油價暴跌、預算削減以及與其他主要產油國為期兩個月的減產談判的打擊。

隨著具有里程碑意義的2013-2014年能源改革，這家境況不佳的墨西哥石油巨頭見證了其壟斷地位的終結。該改革首次允許私人生產商自行運營油田。

根據CNH的數據，自今年年初以來，墨西哥的原油產量下降了近7％。

今年7月，墨西哥石油公司的產量約占全國總產量的96%，而意大利埃尼集團和加拿大文藝復興石油公司等私營企業的產量約占全國總產量的4%。

Mexican crude oil output slips to record low in July

Mexico’s oil output hit a record low in July at 1.605 million barrels per day (bpd), down slightly for both state-run Pemex and upstart private producers and putting the country’s oil patch on track for its lowest production since the 1970s.

Pemex, formally known as Petroleos Mexicanos, produced just 1.548 million bpd in July while private oil companies pumped about 57,000 bpd during the month, both figures down slightly from June, data from oil regulator CNH showed on Tuesday.

Pemex’s July output marks the lowest amount of crude extracted since November 1979, when the then-monopoly producer pumped 1.615 million bpd, according to energy ministry data.

Its production has steadily declined each year since reaching a peak of 3.4 million bpd in 2004, and was most recently hit by an oil price rout earlier this year, budget cuts, as well as a two-month negotiated output cut with other major oil producing countries.

The ailing Mexican oil giant saw its monopoly end with a landmark 2013-2014 energy reform that for the first time allowed private producers to operate oil fields on their own.

Since the beginning of this year, Mexico’s crude oil production has dipped nearly 7%, according to the CNH data.

In July, Pemex produced about 96% of national output, according to the CNH, while the private operators, such as Italy’s Eni and Canada’s Renaissance Oil Corp, contribute around 4%.
