The Olmeca de Pemex refinery has been out of service since Monday due to an energy cut in the plant, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
The refinery, located in Dos Bocas, Tabasco, will try to restart the units on Thursday, said one of the sources. Pemex did not immediately respond to a request for comments.
Olmeca, the newest Pemex refinery and with 340,000 barrels per day (BPD) of capacity, has intensified its operations in recent months after several delays in its implementation and cost overruns, but is still far from reaching its full capacity.
