Pemex diz que refinaria Olmeca opera normalmente após clarão durante manutenção

A Petróleos Mexicanos descartou a ocorrência de um incêndio na refinaria Olmeca, em Dos Bocas, após relatos de fumaça e chamas no início deste sábado. A empresa explicou que tratou-se de um clarão controlado durante trabalhos de manutenção em tanques de armazenamento.

A Pemex afirmou em comunicado que o trabalho foi realizado em tanques de armazenamento de resíduos de vácuo, utilizando vapor e ventilação controlada. Por volta da meia-noite, ocorreu um clarão fora de um dos tanques, o qual foi imediatamente contido seguindo os protocolos de segurança estabelecidos.

A empresa confirmou que o incidente não representou riscos para os funcionários, as instalações ou a comunidade local. As operações da refinaria continuam normalmente e os trabalhos de manutenção seguem conforme o cronograma.

Relatos iniciais de moradores mencionaram uma coluna de fumaça e o acionamento de sirenes, possivelmente na unidade de coqueamento. A Pemex esclareceu que se tratou de um procedimento de rotina e não de um incêndio.
