In June 2022, Bloomberg Línea reported that President López Obrador would inaugurate the Olmeca refinery at Dos Bocas on July 1, 2022. Pemex confirmed that the refinery would begin operations “hasta 2023” (not until 2023). (Video in Spanish.)
In July 2024, Bloomberg Línea reported that the refinery had reached its second anniversary “sin producción comercial de combustibles” (without commercial fuel production). It counted “al menos seis retrasos” (at least six delays).
