An exclusive report reveals that Mexican state-owned oil company Pemex has experienced a reduction in crude oil output following a recent platform fire. According to sources familiar with the matter, Pemex's production has been impacted by a decrease of approximately 20,000 barrels per day.

The incident, which occurred at one of Pemex's offshore platforms, has raised concerns about the company's ability to maintain its production levels. Pemex plays a crucial role in Mexico's economy as the largest oil producer in the country.

Efforts are currently underway to address the aftermath of the fire and restore production to normal levels. Pemex has not provided detailed information about the extent of the damage or the timeline for resuming full operations.

This development underscores the challenges that Pemex faces in ensuring the safety and reliability of its operations. The company has been working to modernize its infrastructure and improve its safety protocols in recent years.

Analysts are closely monitoring the situation to assess the potential impact on global oil markets. Any prolonged disruption in Pemex's production could have implications for oil prices and supply dynamics.

As the situation continues to unfold, stakeholders are eagerly awaiting updates from Pemex regarding the progress of recovery efforts and the outlook for future production levels.
