The fracture that no one wanted to see
The data obtained through transparency is clear as the water they pollute. While the official discourse debates expanding hydraulic fracturing to extract more gas, it turns out that Petróleos Mexicanos never stopped using it. He has been applying it for more than ten years.
More than 2 thousand times in around a thousand wells since 2012. That is not an experiment. It is a constant and discreet energy policy.
The affected regions include Puebla, Veracruz and Tabasco. The intensity dropped in recent years, but the practice continued. The obvious question is: why so much secrecy about something that has been done for a decade?
Selective historical memory
The most cynical thing about the matter is the timing. Now “enlargement” is proposed as if it were something new, a fresh debate. Records show otherwise: it was never completely suspended.
Remember the environmental and political questions? It seems that Pemex has a very convenient amnesia. Meanwhile, underground, technology continues its course.
The truth hurts more than a fractured well: we have been discussing for years whether to open the door to a practice that was already inside the house. And no one at the press conference mentions it.
