In this file photo, the sun sets over a connecting bridge at the Petroleos Mexicanos Pol-A Platform complex, located on the continental shelf in the Gulf of Mexico, 70 kilometers offshore from Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico. Pemex was awarded the majority ownership of a reservoir discovered in the Gulf of Mexico by the Houston company Talos.Scientists detected a massive methane release in the Gulf of Mexico using satellites, potentially charting a path for monitoring offshore pollution.
The 17-day release over Mexican waters in December of last year sent 40,000 metric tons of methane into the atmosphere, according to the report, which is equal to one year’s emissions from 400,000 cows, said Daniel Cohan, atmospheric scientist and associate professor of environmental engineering at Rice University. The company called the scientists’ findings false, asserting that the pollution documented in the study was not as bad as scientists reported.
