Overview
- Pemex reported that a fire began at about 11:15 on Monday on the unmanned Abkatún‑H satellite platform located roughly 73 kilometers from Ciudad del Carmen.
- The company activated its emergency protocols and dispatched firefighting vessels to the scene while the regional emergency group GRAME remains in session.
- Pemex said there are no reported injuries and crews are focused on containing the blaze and keeping nearby installations clear of risk.
- Videos shared on social media showed large flames and thick black smoke, but officials have not yet released a cause or a damage assessment and say they will provide updates.
- Abkatún‑H is part of the Abkatún‑Pol‑Chuc production complex, which suffered a platform fire in April 2015, and authorities will likely examine both operational impacts on output and environmental risks as investigations proceed.
