Mexico's Pemex Says the Fire at the Salina Cruz Refinery has been Extinguished

The blaze began on Friday and quickly devoured a gasoline storage tank, sending a thick cloud of black smoke pouring from inside the refinery.

Pemex said that firemen had completed the tank's "suffocation and cooling operations."

In August, another fire broke out at the Salina Cruz facility.

According to Eikon Refinitiv data, Salina Cruz has the ability to process 330,000 barrels of crude oil per day.

In November, another fire broke out at a Pemex refinery complex in northern Mexico, but it was quickly extinguished without resulting in any casualties or production disruptions.
