An early estimate of the oil leak from Kab 121 was 422 barrels per day (67.1 m3/d) of light crude. In December 2007 Pemex estimated that 8,701 barrels (1,383.3 m3) of leaked oil were recovered with another 5000 completely lost.
On November 13, during attempts to control the leaks resulting from the accident, the well Kab 121 ignited and was brought under control the same day. On the 20th of November, Kab 121 ignited again, this time the fire destroyed the remains of the Derrick and was controlled on December 3.
