This research was undertaken in order to assess the environmental, economic, social and political challenges posed by the activities of Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) in four towns in the state of Tabasco. Study is framed in community social dynamics derived from petroleum activities in order to know how they affect people with PEMEX and relations with local governments. We hypothesized that environmental degradation, historically associated with the transformation of the social fabric, must be analyzed in a broader social context considering the changes that neoliberal economic policy being generated in the country, especially at the local level, since the eighties of the XX century.
