Overview
- Pemex, which on Thursday installed the Comisión Consultiva del Petróleo, said the expert panel will strengthen technical analysis and track national oil policy.
- CEO Víctor Rodríguez Padilla will act as the commission’s technical president and direct its work, while Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas accepted the honorary presidency.
- The body was created by a March 18, 2026 agreement and will meet at least three times a year with extra working sessions to produce technical studies.
- Pemex named outside specialists to the panel, including Alicia Puyana Mutis, Ángel de la Vega Navarro, David Velázquez Cruz, Fabio Erazo Barbosa Cano, Fernanda Ballesteros, Isabelle Rousseau Chaigneau, José Felipe Ocampo Torrea, and Ramón Carlos Torres Flores.
- Outlets report the move aligns with President Claudia Sheinbaum’s drive for energy sovereignty and supply security, and the commission is advisory only and has not issued recommendations yet.
