The state-owned oil company, Petroleos Mexicanos, said in a statement six workers were injured in the blast early Friday at the platform it operates. Such platforms compress gas from oil fields and pump it through pipelines.
The company said seven ships evacuated 321 workers from the platform. Photos in local media showed towering flames billowing from the platform, located offshore from the Gulf coast states of Tabasco and Campeche.
