‘Eye of Fire’ in Gulf of Mexico Caused by Thunderstorm, Says PEMEX

Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) has said the cause of the 'eye of fire' that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico on July 2 was the combination of a thunderstorm and a leak in a gas pipeline. The oil company said there was no oil spill and that immediate action to control the fire on the surface helped prevent any environmental damage.
