Pemex says output impact 'minimal' in platform accident

Mexican national oil company Pemex said on Tuesday the impact on crude oil output in the Akal field from a platform accident is "minimal," involving 15,000 barrels of deferred oil production. 

Pemex suffered an accident on Monday caused by an oil and gas leak on its Akal-H platform, part of the Akal complex, one of the most productive areas within Cantarell, which when it was discovered in the late 1970s was one of the world's largest oil fields.

Yesterday in a press release, the oil company said that the accident left no victims.
