Mexico oil output falls, natural gas imports soar

MEXICO CITY, Nov 22 (Reuters) – Mexican crude oil production and exports fell in October after a storm in the Gulf of Mexico disrupted output for days, while natural gas imports soared 23 percent from September, state oil monopoly Pemex said on Thursday.

Pemex said oil production last month fell to 2.995 million barrels per day from 3.161 million bpd in September.


Oil exports also slipped to 1.503 million bpd from 1.679 million bpd in September, when oil operations had recovered from an earlier storm disruption in August.

Natural gas imports jumped to 557.9 million cubic feet per day in October from 453.2 million cfd the previous month.
