Mexican oil blend reaches $107 a barrel on October 23

Mexico’s export oil blend was priced at $107 a barrel on Friday, October 23, according to state oil company Pemex.

The figure is a daily estimate for information, 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 processed.

Pemex remains Mexico’s leading crude producer, accounting for 98.8% of the country’s output in 2020, according to figures cited in the story.

Maya, a heavy crude, is Mexico’s most exported type and is used mainly for domestic energy, while lighter grades can yield more fuels or other products.

The $107 price offers a snapshot of the value of Mexico’s oil exports, but no next step or forecast is given.
