Petroleos Mexicanos, Mexico's state- run oil monopoly, said it has fully restored service to companies and households in central Mexico after fuel pipelines were damaged by bombings this month.Pemex, as the Mexico City-based company is known, installed seven temporary lines along four natural gas, oil, propane and refined fuel pipelines that were damaged by the attacks July 5 and 10, according to a company e-mail today.
A guerilla group that calls itself the Popular Revolutionary Army claimed responsibility for the pipeline blasts. The explosions caused more than 100 companies to reduce or suspend production for lack of gas. The company had started restoring supply to the Bajio region on July 12.
Pemex said in the e-mail it will accelerate efforts to repair the pipelines. The company didn't provide information on when the work may be completed.
