ExxonMobil and Stolen Pemex Product

Gee whiz, Pemex is really persistent and they want the money for all of the stolen oil and condensate that was trucked across the border and sold and piped thru the XOM AMI. ExxonMobil controls the access to the LACTS on the large HBP leases. ExxonMobil builds the roads, maintains the roads, and gives the thieves the access to the market. The majority of the  LACT units in Railroad Commission District #4 are miles into private property. Two million acres along the border is HBP in old leases by Exxon. From 1919 to until 1983, Exxon built the South Texas Gathering system. In 1995, they sold it to Koch who kept the main crude lines to Flint Hills and promptly sold off all of the feeder lines and trucking terminals to third parties. These terminals are inside ExxonMobil's HBP leases and Exxon controls the access.

ExxonMobil controls the access and thus the market for Mexican stolen condensate that is sold into Koch's pipelines to the FLINT HILLS refinery in Corpus. Trucks of stolen condensate arrive at the gates of the Exxons joint ventures to offload into the  LACTs. ExxonMobil's little gate guard hobbles out, opens the gate, signs the guy in and lets him drive with his stolen load to deliver it to the LACT.
Turns out that Shell and Conoco have been buying stolen Mexican condensate along with other major US refiners. Some of the refiners of the stolen condensate (AGE, Valero, and Flint Hills) have settled with Pemex. The refiners have reimbursed Pemex for the stolen product. The lawyers forked over all of the contracts, receipts, wire transfers, and records for all the LACT units in Starr, Brooks, Duval, Jim Hogg, Live Oak, and Victoria counties.  (almost all of which are on ExxonMobil leases) Not mentioned in the filing but claimed by the local rumor mill: Harvest - Hilcorp in-house counsel has turned over all transactions for their LACTs in return for not being named in the suit.

The fact is that you have people like Pilar Gravitt and the law firm of McGinnis Lochridge deciding the access controls on remote ExxonMobil properties. That is why the theft of oil from Pemex and from Texas operations has always been a problem and will always be a problem.
In 2008, the McGill Ranch sued Exxon for allowing the trade of stolen natural gas condensate to be conducted on the ranch. I have personally reported to Exxon on numerous occasions unauthorized tanker trucks coming and going from the LACT units on the ranch. Here is one of my earlier efforts to alert ExxonMobil

At one point, I even had the sheriff department write a letter to Exxon about organized crime on the property:

Exxon's and El Paso Exploration's lawyers have been notified repeatedly about oil and natural gas condensate being stolen from their properties and the LACT units on their properties being used to trade in stolen oil. The lawyers don't care. It's not being stolen from them - just their clients.
A LACT unit is the "Lease Acquisition Custody Transfer" point - where the truck off loads into the pipeline. It's like the reverse of an automobile gas station - you put the oil in and get paid rather than pay and fill up with gas. This is what the LACT records look like:
