PEMEX completes pipeline repair and cleanup in Veracruz following containment breach
PEMEX has completed repair and remediation work on a pipeline in northern Veracruz after intense rainfall caused a containment breach near Álamo Temapache, affecting roughly 8 km of the surrounding area.
The company activated emergency industrial and environmental safety protocols immediately after the incident, working alongside the Mexican Navy, the Energy and Environmental Safety Agency (ASEA), and local authorities. Two containment barriers and oleophilic booms were deployed along the Pantepec River to control and recover spilled material, while additional barriers and cleanup teams continue restoration along riverbanks.
Operations are being coordinated through a Unified Command Post at the Tuxpan National Port System (Asipona), ensuring a joint response among federal, state, and municipal agencies. According to PEMEX, environmental recovery and monitoring will continue until natural conditions in the affected area are restored.
The company reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining environmental safeguards and preventing future impacts on local communities and waterways.
