MEXICO CITY, MEXICO (By Fidencio Casillas, Energy Analytics Institute, 8.Jul.2025, Words: 443) — The Energy Workforce & Technology Council (EWTC), an US national trade association representing over 250 US and global energy service companies, has formally called on Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum to address long-standing and growing non-payments by Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) to critical oilfield service providers.
The EWTC warned Sheinbaum that continued delays in payment by Pemex, which totaled over $1.2bn for 2024 and 2025 alone, threatened the viability of operations, workforce stability, and future investment in Mexico’s energy sector.
