Sheinbaum Hails Refining Rebound at Tula, Says Upgrades Finish This Year

The visit underscores a drive for energy sovereignty through refinery modernization following Pemex's reintegration.

Overview

  • The president oversaw placement of a naphtha hydrodesulfurization reactor at the Tula refinery as part of a broader modernization that includes a coker to produce cleaner fuels.
  • Officials report Tula processing about 270,000 barrels per day, Dos Bocas producing roughly 320,000, and eight refineries collectively surpassing one million barrels per day.
  • Sheinbaum pointed to 2025 legal changes that consolidated Pemex and CFE under single boards, arguing this vertical reintegration boosts productivity, control and anti-corruption efforts.
  • She reaffirmed cooperation with the United States on security while rejecting any military intervention in Mexico, calling for shared responsibility on stopping guns and drugs.
  • In Tlaxcala, she reviewed an industrial polo of over 50 hectares backed by seven companies with $540 million and up to 6,000 jobs, plus a new university campus slated to open in March via a propedéutico intake.
