Tijuana to have first foreign Gas stations
https://cadenanoticias.mx/nota.php?cont=notas¬a=12607
In four years, Pemex would cease to own up to 50 percent of gas stations currently held in franchise, opening it to private companies for the
distribution and sale of fuels, as provided in the Hydrocarbons Law Reform Energy. The companies that come to the country to look dominant in the
domestic market are Shell, Texaco, Exxon Mobile and Chevron, among others, which are already managing their arrival or even buying infrastructure
service stations to employers national.
However, once the law allows gasoline imports by private initiative, the first area of impact will the border between Mexico and the United States, as
the logistics for the transportation of these oil will be less expensive for its proximity to the storage plants located in the neighboring country.
According to Pablo Gonzalez, president of the Mexican Association of Entrepreneurs Gasolineros (Amegas) in the border states will appreciate the first
impact of this opening. Currently PEMEX has registered the less 10,904 service stations across the country. However, only in the six states bordering
the United States have three thousand 184 gas stations, of which at least 31 percent, ie, a thousand stations, could help Pemex in a first phase to
join foreign brands . We have analyzed and will surely start with the border with Tijuana to the Gulf. That slot will have a direct impact because
there is not any infrastructure is needed. In fact, many companies already want to bring their products as Shell, which is near Tijuana across the
border, "he said.

They merged with Chevron and took down the Texaco logo. When was the last time you saw the Old Familiar Texaco Station in the U S

It's hard to tell whose who in that business. I was raised in a Magnolia/ Mobile family in Texas. I have Stood on the site of Texaco oil Well #1 many
times. most of all those company's evolved from a huge anti trust suit and were / are part of the Standard oil family.
My first Cousin went to work for Texaco straight out of S.M.U. and rose up to a Vice president of his division rather quickly. He seen the hand
righting on the wall and pulled out and started his own company and today a very successful operator in Dallas.

There are still a few Texaco's around, but yeah, owned by Chevron.
I wonder.........................will these new stations just be branded Chevron/Shell/Mobil whatever, owned independently, etc...or will they
actually be owned and operated by these corporations?

10,904 Pemex stations is what the article should say, I'm guessing.

The majors no longer own retail outlets. They are all franchises now. Btw, the different stations all get their gasoline from same source (bulk
tanks), and only vary by the additives, if any.
Why does dk think Texaco is still an active brand? I think Texaco brand no longer used in most countries, but perhaps still used in a few places...

Diego...

Sorry goat, but the major oil companies own plenty of retail facilities. I was just reviewing a list of chevron company owned/operated stations in
California and it went on page after page after page.
The gas you are buying at USA comes directly from the Arco terminal in SD, now owned by Tesoro, which is like you said, totally okay gas.

We still have Texaco "Service" Stations here in Washington. It is one of the places where I can use my Safeway fuel points....Yes, we still have
Safeway grocery stores here, too.
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!

Goat, take a break... I posted a news link and it had the Texaco station photo, not my creation. Texaco is still active in some areas... They were
here in SoCal until just a few years ago. Amoco and Gulf were here further back in time. The big brand players in San Diego now seem to be Chevron,
Shell, 76, and ARCO.

If they used to be here, they must be relevant today. Now that's DavidK logic. a good one. Wonder how much bribery these new stations are going
to have to pay?
Maybe they have to run honest pumps?

This is all most likely stemming from the fact that Mexico has huge amounts of underwater petroleum reserves but Pemex has neither the equipment nor
the knowledge of hoe to extract it.
And fact is that most of the so-called Pemex gasoline has been refined in Texas for years.

Here's a short, recent article about the planned break-up of the PEMEX monopoly by allowing foreign companies to participate.
Mexico expects $62.5bn of new foreign investment into its energy sector in the next three years.
http://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2015/jun/02/...
I've read elsewhere that the need to do deep water drilling in the Gulf, which is new to PEMEX, is a technical reason for bringing in foreign
companies.
