Overview
- Pemex says specialized crews and service companies continue 24-hour operations to manage the Krem-1 site roughly four months after the fire.
- Two accredited mobile laboratories run by the Instituto Mexicano del PetrĂ³leo are providing continuous air-quality readings, which Pemex reports stay below legal emission limits.
- The company has built dikes around the well and installed stream barriers, and it reports a significant recent drop in hydrocarbons upstream of those barriers.
- Pemex operates daily mobile medical units for local residents and a staffed medical post for workers and says no intoxication cases have been identified to date, even as nearby communities have held protests and raised health concerns.
- Independent third-party or government validation beyond Pemex and IMP data is not presented in the reports, so observers should watch for outside air and water testing and for how community complaints shape the next steps.
