Petroleos Mexicanos is responding to an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico near the site of a deadly explosion at one of the state-owned company’s natural gas platforms.
Pemex said it has extended a contract with Linde for supply of its nitrogen to its oil reservoirs in the Gulf of Mexico until 2027.
The company said Linde now supplies around 1,500 million cubic feet of nitrogen per day from its plant on the Atasta Peninsula in the State of Campeche.
Workers who were injured when a rig collapsed earlier this year have sued the rig manufacturer.
The move follows an incident in the Bay of Campeche in the Gulf of Mexico in May in which a worker was killed.
The 26 employees have taken legal action against Friede & Goldman and its affiliates Friede & Goldman LLC, FG Engineering Ltd and FG Engineering Ltd and FKA Friede & Goldman Ltd.
