Reuters first reported in 2022 that researchers had spotted methane leaking from the platform, most likely because of an issue with a flare at the site. A Mexican senator then filed a criminal complaint that year against the Pemex CEO, the energy minister at that time, and the head of the environmental agency for the oil and gas sector, citing Reuters stories.
