Notes
Recent fire incident (March 2026) at Dos Bocas refinery indicates the facility is operational but experienced a significant safety event. The January 2026 news about rising Mexican fuel production suggests Dos Bocas is contributing to output. Fire incidents typically cause temporary operational disruptions but don't necessarily halt production entirely. Utilization estimated at 75% reflecting likely post-incident recovery operations.
