Pemex later stated that the fire has been contained at around 10:45 a.m. local time, naming a gas leak in an underwater pipeline as the reason behind the incident.
"In addition, the interconnection valves in the pipeline were closed, extinguishing the fire and the gas emanation, ending the contingency around 10:45 a.m., and restoring normal operating conditions. No injuries or evacuees are reported", the company said in a statement.

Joe, is that you?
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro accused the CIA and the US military agencies of planning to assassinate him, particularly wondering whether Joe Biden has something to do with it.
"Did Joe Biden ratify Donald Trump's orders to lead Venezuela into civil war and kill us? Yes or no? I ask," Maduro stated during a speech at a military ceremony on Friday.
It's not the first time that the Venezuelan president has suspected his US counterparts of attempting to kill him. In 2019, Maduro accused Donald Trump of urging neighboring Colombia to participate in a plot to kill him and overthrow the Venezuelan government.
