Bright orange flames jumping out of water resembling molten lava was dubbed an “eye of fire” on social media due to the blaze's circular shape, as it raged a short distance from a Pemex oil platform.The fire began in an underwater pipeline that connects to a platform at Pemex's flagship Ku Maloob Zaap oil development, the company's most important, four sources told Reuters earlier.
Angel Carrizales, head of Mexico's oil safety regulator ASEA, wrote on Twitter that the incident “did not generate any spill.” He did not explain what was burning on the water's surface. Ku Maloob Zaap is Pemex's biggest crude oil producer, accounting for more than 40% of its nearly 1.7 million barrels of daily output.
“The turbomachinery of Ku Maloob Zaap's active production facilities were affected by an electrical storm and heavy rains,” according to a Pemex incident report shared by one of Reuters' sources.Details from the incident report were not mentioned in Pemex's brief press statement and the company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
