MOSCOW (MRC) -- Mexico's state-owned oil company Pemex said Wednesday that a power outage at its second biggest refinery briefly interrupted production, said Hydrocarbonprocessing.
The Tula refinery, which can process up to 315 Mbpd, was taken offline for around 30 minutes, according to a Pemex spokesperson who declined to be named citing company policy.
In a statement Pemex said the principal services of the refinery, located in central Hidalgo state, were operating normally and that it did not see production being affected.
As MRC informed earlier, in April 2016, a massive explosion rocked Pemex in the Gulf state of Veracruz on Wednesday, killing at least three people, injuring dozens more, and pumping a cloud of noxious chemicals into the sky. Three people had died in the blast and as many as 45 were injured.
Pemex, Mexican Petroleum, is a Mexican state-owned petroleum company. Pemex has a total asset worth of USD415.75 billion, and is the world's second largest non-publicly listed company by total market value, and Latin America's second largest enterprise by annual revenue as of 2009.
