Mexico's three main oil export ports reopen after stormy seas forced closure
MEXICO CITY
Petroleumworld.com, Jan 08, 2008
Mexico's three main oil export ports were open again Monday after stormy seas forced their closure last week just as oil prices topped $100 a barrel.
The Gulf of Mexico ports of Pajaritos, Dos Bocas and Cayo Arcas reopened late last week, the Mexican Transportation Department said. The three Gulf ports handle most of the 1.7 million barrels of crude exported daily by state-owned oil monopoly Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex.
The Pacific Salinas Cruz port, which exports only a small amount of oil, was reopened over the weekend. All four ports had been closed because of bad weather, but Pemex said oil production wasn't affected.
