(CNN) -- Ten workers are missing from a U.S.-owned oil rig in the tropical-storm-roiled Gulf of Mexico, the Mexican state-owned oil company Pemex said Friday.
"We will continue to help with the search and rescue of the 10 workers of the Geokinetics company who were evacuated today at 12:30 from the 'Trinity II,' owned by the same company," Pemex said in a news release.
The 10 disappeared after being taken off the rig amid high seas stirred up by Tropical Storm Nate, which is sitting nearly stationary to the south, near the Yucatan Peninsula.
The workers were contracted by Geokinetics, based in Houston, Texas, the company said.
Two Pemex-chartered rescue boats have been unable to find the missing workers, the company said.
