Pemex says it addressed a leak from a Gulf of Mexico pipeline

Mexican state energy company Pemex said on Friday that it addressed a hydrocarbon leak from a pipeline that transports crude oil from the Akal-C platform in the Gulf of Mexico to the maritime terminal in the port of Dos Bocas.

Pemex, which had said on Wednesday evening that the cleanup was expected to be completed in the next few hours, said on Friday that "containment measures" continued and that it was preventing additional arrivals at the normally busy terminal.

It came a week after an incident temporarily shut down operations at the company's new Olmeca refinery nearby.
