2024年4月6日，墨西哥国家能源公司Pemex报告称，墨西哥湾的Akal-B平台发生火灾。它补充说，它已经启动了应急方案。

然而，该公司报告称，事故发生后，至少有一名承包商丧生，两人情况“严重”。

Pemex在一份声明中宣布，其中5名工人是其员工，其余来自其他公司，如COTER和Diavaz。

大火大约在下午晚些时候发生在Akal B平台的一部分，那里有天然气管道。

从平台附近的一艘船上拍摄并在社交媒体上流传的视频和图像显示，大量烟雾从石油和天然气基础设施升起。

Akal-B是该公司老化但仍至关重要的Cantarell浅水井综合设施的一部分。

该综合设施每天生产约20万桶原油，但20年前，它是世界上产量最高的油田之一，日产量超过200万桶。

墨西哥国家石油公司没有透露该综合设施的石油和天然气生产目前受到的影响。

然而，该公司指出，将调查事件的原因，并采取必要的行动，“恢复”其在处理中心的运营。

英文原文

On April 6, 2024, Mexico’s state energy firm, Pemex, reported a fire that broke out at the Akal-B platform in the Gulf of Mexico. It added that it had activated and contained the emergency protocols.

However, the firm reported that at least one contractor lost his life following the accident, and two were in “grave” condition.

Pemex declared in a statement that five of these workers were its employees, while the rest were from other firms, such as COTER and Diavaz.

The fire broke out around late afternoon in a part of the Akal B platform where the gas pipelines are.

Videos and images captured from a boat close to the platform and circulated on social media indicated massive smoke rising from oil and gas infrastructure.

Akal-B is part of the firm’s ageing but still crucial Cantarell complex of shallow water wells.

The complex produces about 200,000 barrels of crude oil each day, but two decades ago, it was one of the top-producing fields in the world, with more than two million bpd of output.

Pemex did not share how oil and gas production from the complex is currently affected.

However, the firm noted that it would investigate the cause of the incident and take the actions required to “reestablish” its operations at the processing center.
