Carlos Slim consolidates his oil empire as Pemex's largest private partner.

Carlos Slim , Mexico's richest man, has invested more than $2 billion in oil projects, positioning himself as a key partner for Pemex . This is his strategy.

Carlos Slim , known for his telecommunications empire, has diversified his portfolio into the energy sector. His most recent move includes:

• The acquisition of a stake in Talos Energy before transferring it to its Mexican subsidiary.
• A $530 million deal to purchase two oil fields.
• A $1.2 billion investment to exploit a gas field in the Gulf of Mexico.

"Slim has once again demonstrated its ability to identify opportunities in strategic sectors, just as it did with Telmex in the 1990s."

Pemex, the state-owned oil company, faces serious financial and operational problems:

• Debt exceeding 100 billion dollars.
• Low production and lack of investment in infrastructure.
• Few private partners willing to collaborate.

Slim emerges as a key ally, providing capital and operational efficiency.

In 1990, Slim acquired Telmex at a critical time for telecommunications in Mexico. Today, his strategy with Pemex follows a similar pattern:

1. Identify a state-owned company in crisis.
2. Inject capital and improve efficiency.
3. Position itself as a dominant player in the sector.

Experts point out that this collaboration could:

• Increase oil and gas production.
• Reduce dependence on energy imports.
• Modernize Pemex's infrastructure.

However, it also raises debates about the concentration of economic power in private hands.
