In Mexico, the production of energy changed when the energy sector was reformed in 2013 and a hydrocarbons law was passed in 2014. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implications of the energy reform on territorial, economic, and social conditions in El Remolino, municipality of Papantla, Veracruz. To gather data in this regard, citizens were engaged, questionnaires were answered by 40 ejido residents, and two collective interviews were held during 2015 and 2016. In El Remolino, hydrocarbon extraction has not generated significant change in reducing residents’ poverty levels; on the contrary, the dispossession of ejido lands, contamination of soil and water, abandonment of agricultural production, and social discontent continue unabated.

Palabras llave : energy reform; hydrocarbons exploitation land dispossession; territory; socio-cultural disruption.
