据石油世界网5月26日墨西哥城报道，分析人士表示，墨西哥国家石油和天然气公司(墨国油/Pemex)不断增加的维护支出正在限制这家墨西哥国有油气巨头开发潜在利润丰厚的新油田的能力。

根据墨国油日前提交给美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的年度报告，墨国油计划今年在上游维护方面耗资59亿美元，比去年增加了25.5%，并比2013年全年的维护支出增加了近一倍。SEC的报告显示，不包括维护，墨国油今年已为上游资本支出编制了51亿美元的预算。按照墨国油2019年上游资本支出预算总额计算，维修费用占54%，高于2013年的29%。

总部位于墨西哥城的Finamex经纪公司资深分析师Victor Gomez表示：“向SEC报告的数据符合墨国油最早在今年稳定生产的主要策略。”

但总部位于墨西哥城的能源咨询公司GMEC主管冈萨洛?蒙罗伊表示，墨国油维持产量的成本越来越高，挑战也会越来越大。

蒙罗伊补充说：“维护成本不断增加反映在墨国油主要油田生产成本的上升”。

墨国油没有回复记者就此事置评的请求。

Growing upstream maintenance spending hitting Pemex's ability to develop new fields

Pemex's growing maintenance spending is constraining the ability of the Mexican state oil and natural gas company's to develop new, potentially lucrative fields, analysts say.

Pemex plans to spend $5.9 billion on upstream maintenance this year, according to the company's annual report to the US Securities and Exchange Commission,up 25.5% from 2018 and nearly double its maintenance spending in 2013. Excluding maintenance, Pemex has budgeted $5.1 billion for upstream capex this year, the SEC report shows. Put in terms of Pemex's total upstream capex budget for 2019, maintenance represents 54%, up from 29% in 2013.

"The numbers reported to the SEC follow Pemex's main strategy of stabilizing its production as soon as this year," said Victor Gomez, senior economist with Mexico City-based brokerage firm Finamex.

But it is becoming expensive and challenging for Pemex to maintain its production, said Gonzalo Monroy, director of Mexico City-based energy consulting firm GMEC.

"Higher maintenance costs are reflected in higher production cost in Pemex's major oil fields," he added.
