Mexico’s oil blend reached $85 a barrel on Thursday

Mexico’s crude oil export blend was priced at $85 a barrel on Thursday, November 5.

The figure comes from daily data published by state oil company Pemex.

Pemex says the price is an estimate for information only, calculated using regional pricing formulas and daily market closing prices.

Mexico produces three main types of crude: Maya, Istmo and Olmeca, which differ in density and how they can be used.

Pemex figures say heavy Maya crude makes up 54% of the country’s oil output, while Istmo accounts for 33% and Olmeca for 12%.

Pemex produced 98.8% of Mexico’s crude in 2020, according to the figures cited in the story.
