With the suspension of operations in the Trans-Ecuadorian Pipeline System (SOTE), the Private Heavy Pipeline (OCP) Ecuador and the Shushufindi-Quito Pipeline make it impossible to continue pumping oil to the ports.

The Minister of Energy, René Ortiz, said that “The suspension of operations in the Amazon oil fields will be gradual, as the existing supply tanks fill up. Today, the contracts fall under force majeure. How to channel the suspension is being studied immediately. International buyers are already aware of the situation.”

The ruptured pipeline is about one and a half kilometers long, through which more than 500,000 barrels circulate. The flow of oil will only be regularized when the three pipelines are repaired. However, although it was initially announced that the process would take three weeks, Minister Ortiz believes it could take longer, between one and a half and two months at least: “It could be more. Geological studies are necessary to establish variations in the layout of the three systems. In addition, permits and environmental rights need to be obtained.”

Additionally, there was another problem at the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCC) of the Esmeraldas Refinery, in the main compressor. Due to a lack of electricity, damages compromised its operation and repairs will take several weeks.

“We cannot produce fuels for internal consumption. Fortunately, the quarantine has significantly decreased demand by about 83%. Therefore, there is no risk of internal shortages because we have a sufficient volume of reserves,” he concluded.
