Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) has announced that it has reached an unprecedented production level of 1.027 million barrels per day of petroleum products during 2025, based on its latest operational statistics. This milestone reflects a sustained growth in high-value distillates such as gasoline, diesel, and kerosene, with an additional output of 117,000 barrels per day. Pemex attributes this success to enhanced operational efficiency within its refineries and the fortification of the National Refining System.

The overall output of high-value distillates at Pemex's refineries has now surpassed 60 percent of the total refined product and is on a continuous upward trend. The company has laid out a strategic goal to further ramp up this proportion to up to 80 percent in mixed refined products over the next few years. This shift aims to produce more useful fuels while gradually reducing the output of residual products, showcasing the company's commitment to efficiency and environmental responsibility.

In the context of global energy demands and the push towards cleaner energy sources, Pemex's increase in production signifies a significant move in boosting Mexico's energy independence while addressing local demand for fuel. The ambitious plans unveiled by Pemex not only target higher production levels but also reflect a strategic alignment with international best practices in refinery management, marked by an emphasis on maximizing distillate outputs, which are crucial for meeting both domestic and international market needs.
