Mexico's Pemex Reports Leaks on Oil Pipeline Supplying Dos Bocas Terminal
(Reuters) — Mexico's state energy firm Pemex said on Wednesday evening that it had addressed two leaks in a pipeline that transports oil from its Akal-C platform to the Dos Bocas Maritime Terminal in the southern state of Tabasco.
In a statement, Pemex said preparations were underway to verify the pipeline's tightness and resume its operation.
The announcement follows reports in local media earlier on Wednesday of an oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico.
Pemex said oil had reached a seven kilometer (4.35 miles)stretch of shore at the Dos Bocas Maritime Terminal in the municipality of Paraiso, Tabasco. The company's statement added that the cleanup was expected to be completed in the next few hours and that it was working with local communities to help them resume fishing.
Pemex's announcement comes a week after an incident temporarily shut down operations at the company's Olmeca refinery, which is adjacent to the Dos Bocas terminal.
