Mexican non-government organizations on Tuesday reported an oil spill in an area of the Gulf of Mexico where an explosion this month killed two workers at a gas production platform of state company Pemex. Satellite images show that the spill began on July 4, three days before the blast, and by last week had spread over some 400 square kilometers.
