Sheinbaum Highlights Tula Refinery Overhaul, Rules Out U.S. Intervention

Her weekend tour tied refinery upgrades to regional projects that connect investment with workforce training.

Overview

  • At the Tula complex in Hidalgo, Sheinbaum supervised placement of a hydrodesulfurizer reactor and reviewed coker progress to enable lower‑sulfur gasoline and diesel.
  • She said Pemex’s six legacy refineries plus Dos Bocas and Deer Park now produce more than one million barrels of refined products per day, with Dos Bocas at about 320,000 b/d.
  • The president pointed to 2025 legal changes that restored Pemex and CFE as public enterprises with single boards, describing a vertical reintegration aimed at higher productivity and control.
  • On relations with the United States, she called military intervention in Mexico “not an option” and stressed shared responsibility on curbing drug flows north and arms trafficking south.
  • A day earlier in Tlaxcala, she reviewed the Huamantla industrial polo and the Teolocholco university unit, citing seven investors, $540 million in investment, up to 6,000 jobs, and target openings by late February and March.
