Last Friday morning began to spread on social networks videos and photos of a large fire in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where the Ku-Charly platform in Campeche is located, operated by Pemex.Three vessels were trying to control the fire that was spreading over the sea, an image that caused alarm and outrage in a context in which the federal government is determined to strengthen the use of fossil fuels in the face of pressure international support for clean energy. According to the oil company, the thunderstorm caused the pneumatic pumping gas turbocharging equipment, which is needed for the production of the wells, to stop working.
