What happened

Pemex suspended transport through a six-inch isobutane pipeline in its Minatitlán–Salina Cruz system after a loss of containment and fire in Texistepec municipality. Crews depressurized and sectioned the line, inspected it with drones, controlled burning product and installed clamps. Reporting on 3 August described four points with visible flame—not four independently established leak causes—with one remaining small and controlled during the response. A related 31 July report described a controlled burn used to vent isobutane safely in the same response area. No injuries were reported. The kilometre references varied across local reports, and Pemex had not published a final cause, so this record does not classify the event as theft or sabotage.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
