The chief executive officer of Mexican state energy oil Pemex on Wednesday sought to downplay an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico this month, saying it was quickly fixed and less serious than academics had calculated.
Pemex has been under intense pressure from non-governmental organizations and researchers from the country's top university to explain an oil spill recently detected from satellite images.
Researchers at the National Autonomous University of Mexico had backed Greenpeace and other non-governmental organizations that first published the satellite images. Gomez said it was possible for experts to distinguish the texture of an oil slick from the rest of the ocean surface owing to the different densities and wave patterns.
