Background

The pipeline was part of the Cadereyta Refinery Reconfiguration Project, which involved the construction of ten new power plants and the expansion of four existing power plants.[2]

Two 24-inch pipelines run roughly in parallel along the route from the Ciudad Madero refinery in Tamaulipas state to the Cadereyta refinery in Nuevo León, passing through the municipalities of Ciudad Madero, Tampico, Altamira, Aldama, González, Llera, Casas, Victoria, Güemez, Hidalgo, Villagrán and Mainero in Tamaulipas state, and the municipalities of Linares, Hualahuises, Montemorelos, General Terán and Cadereyta Jimenez in Nuevo León state.[1][4][5]

Environmental Impacts

In 2014 the Madero-Cadereyta Pipeline was tapped by thieves leading to an oil spill along a 6 kilometer stretch of Rio San Juan.[3]

The Pemex refinery in Cadereyta (also known as the Héctor Lara Sosa Refinery) is considered one of northeastern Mexico's worst polluters, spewing toxic fumes that can travel as far as neighboring Coahuila state. The refinery is listed by Greenpeace as one of the world's worst emitters of SO₂ (sulfur dioxide).[6]
