Two contract workers died and 13 were injured at Pemex's Deer Park, Texas, refinery in October after a hydrogen sulfide gas leak. The leak occurred when workers partially opened a flange during maintenance, releasing 27,000 pounds of the toxic gas. The U.S. Chemical Safety Board and other agencies are investigating the incident, focusing on maintenance and emergency response management. Multiple lawsuits have been filed seeking damages from Pemex and former owner Shell Plc.
