Market Challenge
The Mexican government is
implementing significant energy
reforms – the first in more than
80 years – to liberalize fuel
markets and spur investment in
production and infrastructure.
Reform will bring open market
pricing within the next two
years as private industry enters
the supply chain and PEMEX
relinquishes price controls
in 2018.
How We Help
In the new open market, fuel
buyers and sellers can now
depend on OPIS for unbiased
pricing information to negotiate
contracts and make critical
import/export decisions. OPIS
calculates an implied wholesale
price daily at Mexico’s terminals
using both retail and spot values
in the formulas detailed at right.
