Pemex chief executive Emilio Lozoya Austin has expressed his gratitude to staff dealing with a fire in the Gulf of Mexico which has left four people dead.
The incident happened on the Pemex operated Abkatun Alpha platform in the Bay of Campeche.
Footage from the scene shows the extent of the fire.
Mr Austin also thanked the Mexican Navy who have been supporting the relief efforts since the fire broke out early on Wednesday morning.
The boss of the Mexican state-owned company spoke after it was confirmed by Pemex that four people had died and more than a dozen were injured.
He said the work being carried out by firefighters to control the blaze is being monitored from the air.
The chief executive also said the progress of extinguishing the fire was being assessed from the Port of Dos Bocas.
The platform forms part of the Abkatun-Pol-Chuc offshore complex. Images from the scene show the full nature of the fire.
President Enrique Peña Nieto has paid tribute to those killed in the fire.
In 2012, 26 people were killed at a fire in a Pemex natural gas facility in while at least 37 people died following a blast at the company’s headquarters in Mexico City in 2013.
Data from the US Energy Information Administration, shows production at the complex has fallen steadily since the 1990s.
