PEMEX is investing in constructing two new coker plants at the Tula refinery and Salina Cruz refinery, scheduled to go online in 2024, to phase out fuel oil production. The Salina Cruz cracking refinery, located in Oaxaca, Mexico, is a non-integrated cracking facility owned by Petroleos Mexicanos. It commenced operations in 1979 and boasts a Nelson Complexity Index (NCI) of 8.1. Works on the Salina Cruz unit began in 2022. The plant is expected to contribute to the elimination of fuel oil and the increased production of ultra-low sulfur gasoline and diesel at the refinery.

The Tinrhert Fields Development is a project developed by Sonatrach in eastern Algeria. The project involves connecting peripheral gas fields to existing processing facilities through new separation, compression, decarbonization and pipeline infrastructure. Its objective is to increase the production of natural gas, LPG and condensates, while enhancing the value of the Tinrhert field resources for the Algerian domestic market and export.

The Rumaila Project – ESP OHTL Ringmains is an Oil & Gas project developed within the Rumaila Oil Field, in southern Iraq. The project is part of the wider ESP Ring Main Project, aimed at developing ring-main electrical infrastructure and overhead transmission lines to power wells equipped with Electrical Submersible Pumps. Its objective is to provide stable power from the Rumaila Power Plant to the ESP wells, reducing the use of diesel generators, improving operational reliability and supporting the field’s long-term oil production.
