A fire at the Minatitlán refinery, owned by Mexican state oil producer Pemex, has been extinguished.
The refinery, located in Veracruz, can process up to 285,000 barrels per day (bpd).
According to Veracruz civil protection officials, the fire was successfully extinguished without any injuries.
Pemex also confirmed that its staff and facilities were not affected by the incident.
Authorities have not disclosed the cause of the fire.
Pemex has not commented on whether the event disrupted production at the facility.
Earlier this week, a separate fire occurred at Pemex’s Salina Cruz refinery in Oaxaca.
The Salina Cruz refinery, which processes up to 330,000 bpd, also reported no injuries or property damage, according to local civil protection officials.
Both incidents highlight recent challenges faced by Pemex’s infrastructure, though safety measures ensured no reported casualties or structural damages.
Despite queries regarding potential production impacts at the Minatitlán refinery, Pemex declined to provide additional details when contacted by Reuters.
No further updates have been released about the fire at Salina Cruz.
However, local authorities have assured that the incidents are under control.
Pemex firefighting teams, alongside local civil protection units, managed both fires promptly.
This reflects the operational measures in place to safeguard workers and facilities during such emergencies.
The swift response at both Minatitlán and Salina Cruz limited risks to personnel and surrounding infrastructure.
