Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Maya serves as the primary heavy crude benchmark due to its large production volume (1+ million bbl/d), consistent quality from established Mexican fields, and strategic proximity to US Gulf Coast refineries optimized for heavy crude processing. Its 22° API gravity and 3.40% sulfur content represent typical characteristics of heavy crude oil requiring complex refining, making it an ideal reference point for pricing similar grades throughout the Americas and globally.

Cantarell field decline from peak production of 2.1 million bbl/d in 2004 to current levels around 200,000 bbl/d significantly reduces pure Cantarell contribution to Maya blend, requiring integration with Ku-Maloob-Zaap production to maintain total Maya volumes. New field developments and enhanced recovery projects partially offset declines, while potential quality variations from changing field mix require ongoing blend optimization to maintain Maya specifications and market acceptance.
