Texas-based oil workers missing in Gulf of Mexico
MEXICO CITY — Mexico's state oil company said Friday it was searching for 10 workers from a Texas-based company who evacuated from a platform in the Gulf of Mexico ahead of Tropical Storm Nate.
Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) said it has two ships searching in the area where the workers called for help Thursday afternoon and left the Trinity II, a "jack-up" structure, on a life raft.
Geokinetics, a Pemex subcontractor that specializes in seismic studies for the oil and gas industry, said in a statement on its website that it employed some of the workers.
The company said in the statement that high seas had disabled the "jack-up" structure, called a lift boat and operated by Trinity Lift Boat Services, and the crew was seen boarding the life raft after making the distress call about 12:25 p.m. CDT. It said families of its employees had been notified.
