The curtain did not fall in Dos Bocas
The Olmeca Refinery, that emblematic project in Tabasco, continues to operate. This was confirmed by Pemex authorities after an incident recorded on Thursday afternoon in one of its coking plants. The scene, for a moment, seemed tense.
Víctor Rodríguez Padilla, director of the institution, personally came down to the stage to supervise. Their verdict was clear: no workers were injured. That’s the first thing you ask, right? That if the people are well.
On Friday, the inspection became a joint event. Rodríguez Padilla made the tour accompanied by elements of the Secretary of the Navy and the governor of Tabasco himself, Javier May. All with their eyes on the conditions of the refining center.
“After participating in regional safety meetings, it was determined that all potential risks were eliminated,” the director explained.
The statement is forceful: they guarantee the safety of the population, personnel and infrastructure. They close the event by stating that the risk was left out of the script.
Right now, the work is on refining the details. They focus on regularizing specific operations for the management of coke. It’s like adjusting the last lights after a little technical scare in the middle of the show.
The crucial thing here is that the work continues. Production did not stop. In the great theater of national energy policy, this was a brief setback, a sigh between acts, but not a definitive cut.
