translated from Spanish: Oil production, downwards for third month in a row

Although the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador has presumed that it managed to “stabilize” the fall in oil production, official figures show that in May there was again a drop in crude oil production.
It’s the third month in a row. 
From February to March, production fell from 1 million 701 thousand barrels per day, to 1 million 691 barrels per day. Then, from March to April it dropped from 1 million 691 thousand barrels per day to 1 million 675 thousand barrels per day.
And the most recent figure is a crude oil production of 1 million 663 thousand barrels per day in May, 12 thousand less than the previous month.
Compared to the Production Figure of May 2018, it is a 10% drop, since at that time production was 1 million 850 thousand barrels per day.

However, if you compare May 2019 with May 2018, there is a 13% drop. 
On a monthly basis, there was a decline in the import of gasoline. From 566,900 in April, it was passed to 483 thousand 600 in May. In May 2018, the import figure for gasoline was 558,600 barrels per day.
