According to the state company, the reason for the oil spill was due to a problem in the pipeline linked to the main refining center.

The cleanup plan for the removal of oil in the Caribbean Sea is being carried out by PDVSA in conjunction with the Venezuelan Ministry of Ecological Socialism. The state company assured that there will be no supply shortages for the Paraguaná refining center, nor for the Amuay and Cardón refineries.
