石油设备网讯 据彭博社6月2日报道称，由于墨西哥总统奥夫拉多尔呼吁该国在能源生产方面实现自给自足，墨西哥正启动耗资77亿美元（1500亿比索）的炼油厂建设。
总统奥夫拉多尔（AMLO）周日在塔巴斯科Paraiso的一场活动上表示，该国“过分依赖购买外国汽油”，而墨西哥第七个炼油厂将在那里建成。炼油厂六个阶段的招标过程将于6月底开始。
计划于本周访问华盛顿的AMLO表示，墨西哥希望继续与美国成为朋友，并重申墨西哥与其北方邻国的良好关系。不过，他也表示，墨西哥“不是任何外国的殖民地。”
AMLO重申，炼油厂将在三年内落成，并补充说它将由政府而非第三方建造。

Mexico kicks off $7.7 billion refinery construction
Mexico is kicking off the construction of its $7.7 billion (150 billion peso) oil refinery amid a call by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador for the country to become self-sufficient in energy production.
The nation “depends too much on buying foreign gasoline,” the president, commonly known as AMLO, said at an event Sunday in Paraiso, Tabasco, where the seventh refinery will be built. The bidding process for the six phases of the refinery begins at the end of June.
AMLO, who’s scheduled to visit Washington this week, said Mexico wants to continue to be friends with the U.S. and reiterated his country’s good relations with its northern neighbor. However, he also said that Mexico “isn’t a colony of any foreign country.”
AMLO reiterated that the refinery will be inaugurated in three years, adding that it will be built by the government rather than a third party.
