  • Reports of USGC refiners shunning Mexican crude imports due to excessive water content to the benefit of Colombian and Canadian crude had led to discounts on Maya grade.
  • Maya had water content of as much as 6%, six times above the industry standard.
  • Mexican crude imports fell to the least in 35 years in January at 321k b/d. Pemex is also looking at increasing exports to Europe and Asia due to pending US tariffs.
