Three hundred workers evacuated from platform owned by Mexico’s state-run Pemex after explosion early on Wednesday morning
Four oil rig workers were killed and 16 injured when a fire broke out on an oil production platform in the Gulf of Mexico early on Wednesday morning, Mexico’s state-run petro-giant Pemex has said.
The explosion started with a fire in the dewatering and pumping area of the Abkatun A-Permanent platform, Pemex said, though it was not yet clear what had caused it.
