Mexico wants to ban fracking – Oilfield Witness Recap 4:01 Min. by Oilfield Witness, Nov 7, 2025
On October 15th, Oilfield Witness participated in a historic day for environmental justice in Mexico when the Mexican Congressional Chamber of Deputies introduced a bill to ban fracking in their country. In September, Oilfield Witness Director and Thermographer Sharon Wilson and Dr. Sandra Steingraber provided a tour of the Permian Basin to a Mexican delegation of activists and members of the Mexican Congress.
Dr. Sandra is a writer, activist, and biologist. She was instrumental in the successful campaign to ban fracking in the state of New York. She is the Senior scientist at Science & Environmental Health Network
We highlighted the environmental, health and worker impacts of fracking. Inspired by what they saw in the field, the Alianza Mexicana Contra el Fracking (AMCF) [Mexican Alliance Against Fracking] and the participating ally Mexican Congress members decided to take action the very next month.
On October 15, four Congressional Deputies introduced legislation to ban fracking in Mexico–an unfulfilled campaign promise of the ruling left-wing party MORENA for nearly a decade. These deputies were: Xochitl Zagal Ramirez (MORENA Party), Manuel Vazquez Arellano (MORENA Party), Adrian Gonzalez Naveda (Workers’ Party), and Olga Juliana Elizondo Guerra (Workers’ Party)
Mexico’s state-owned oil company PEMEX is interested in conducting exploratory fracking projects in the country’s Northeastern region. This October day of action consisted of three important events to educate the public about fracking.
First, a photography exhibition in the halls of the Chamber of Deputies. The exhibit–entitled “Así se ve el fracking” / “This is what fracking looks like”–included Sharon’s OGI documentation in multiple pieces.
Second, AMCF and allied deputies organized a forum for the Mexican public entitled “Fracking in Mexico: Infrastructure, Impacts and Resistance.” Here Sharon shared her personal experience suffering the impacts of fracking and her decades of fighting back. Dr. Sandra Steingraber, a biologist, detailed the human impacts of the oil and gas industry, citing the “fracking compendium” she helped compile. The forum included voices of indigenous communities who have suffered sickness, cancer, pollution of their air and water, and oil spills from the existing PEMEX oil and gas infrastructure–the Totonaca people of Veracruz, and the Huastecas in San Luis Potosí.
Thirdly, the day ended with a press conference that highlighted the urgency of fulfilling MORENA’s campaign promise to ban fracking, and the importance of avoiding the Texas route of widescale ecological disaster.

Great video. Thank you for your hard work and thank you Mexico.
Fracking needs to stop everywhere.
