Ecopetrol Confirms Oil Leak on 85,000 Bpd Line Following Attack Over Weekend in Colombia

The Colombian state oil company Ecopetrol said that a bombing attack on the Transandino pipeline over the weekend caused a leak in the southwest of Narino, near the border with Ecuador. The company stated that the pipeline was not operating on Saturday during the attack, the first of this year. There were 16 attacks in 2018.

Ecopetrol did not disclose who was responsible for the bombing or when the pipeline would return to service. The 306-kilometer Transandino pipeline has the capacity to transport about 85,000 barrels of oil per day from fields in the Putumayo province to the port of Tumaco on the Pacific Ocean, from where it is exported.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.

A Brazilian city decided to purchase a piece of the Atlantic Forest with more than 153,000 square meters, and owners of preserved areas will be able to submit proposals to transform the forest into a conservation unit.

Brazilian siblings aged 11 and 7 read 240 books in just one year and caught attention on social media: while many children spend hours on screens, they turned their family’s routine into an example of reading, discipline, and curiosity.

The legendary oak that, according to the story, hid Robin Hood from the Sheriff of Nottingham, died at the impressive age of 1,200 years in England, and the first chilling sign of its end was that no leaves sprouted on the tree this spring.

While the world looks at forests, the UN warns that the Earth is also threatened by the silent degradation of natural grasslands and savannas, ecosystems that cover half of the planet, support billions of people, and can exacerbate water, food, and climate crises.

The future of computers may change sooner than expected: Amazon bets on commercial quantum computing within seven years, while qubits, the Ocelot chip, AI, and scientific simulations take center stage in the new race among big techs.
