Pemex has confirmed the deaths of four workers after a fire broke out April 1 at its Abkatun-A platform in Mexico’s Bay of Campeche.

The fire forced the evacuation of about 300 workers.

In a new release, Pemex said 16 workers were injured, and two of these were reportedly in serious condition. However, Reuters—citing local emergency services—reported that as many as 45 people were injured. Pemex said via Twitter that the accident claimed the lives of four workers.

The fire started in the dehydration and pumping area of the platform, Pemex said. However, it was not immediately known what caused the fire.
