Pemex Repairs Flood-Damaged Veracruz Pipeline in Álamo Temapache

Cleanup along the Pantepec River continues under a unified command with federal and local authorities.

Overview

  • Pemex says it completed the repair after extraordinary rains damaged a pipeline, addressing a loss of containment over roughly eight kilometers near Álamo Temapache.
  • The spill affected stretches of the Pantepec River, and specialized crews are conducting sanitation and remediation along the riverbanks.
  • Two containment barriers, oleophilic booms, and pumping and surface recovery equipment have been deployed on the river.
  • Pemex plans to add three more barriers today as crews collect waste and apply absorbent materials to restore conditions.
  • Response efforts are coordinated through a Unified Command Post at Asipona in Tuxpan with the Navy, ASEA, and local and state authorities, following days of social-media reports about the incident.
