Ecuador’s Petroecuador Restarts SOTE Crude Pipeline After Landslide
3/22/2025
(Reuters) — Ecuador's state oil company Petroecuador said on Wednesday that it had restarted crude transport via the SOTE pipeline after repairing damage caused by a landslide.
The firm had suspended use of the pipeline last Thursday after the landslide caused an oil spill.
The landslide buried the pipleline in some 225,000 cubic meters of soil, which the company had to remove before repairing the line, Petroecuador said in a statement.
The company did not say how much oil had been spilled as a result of the damage.
