MEXICO CITY, MEXICO (By Pemex, 20.Nov.2025, Words: 162) — Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) reports qualified specialists responded to and ruled out the existence of an illegal tap on the tunnel being built in the direction of the Azcapotzalco-Barranca del Muerto pipeline.
This, following a report from a citizen who alerted of the presence of a strong fuel smell. Afterwards, specialists from the Pemex response team went to a building located in the Colonia Observatorio in the district of Miguel Hidalgo to determine whether it was an illegal tap and disable it.
In coordination with Mexico City’s Secretariat of Comprehensive Risk Management and Civil Protection, a sweep was carried out with special equipment to diagnose the reliability of the installation, and it was determined that the pipeline was not affected, as no physical evidence of an illegal tap was found.
Pemex’s specialized technicians will continue carrying out preventative operations in the area and will provide the authorities with their full support.
