OCP Ecuador, the operator of Ecuador's privately held heavy crude pipeline, suspended pumping crude on Saturday as a preventative measure after it ruptured in the Amazon, and began cleaning and repairs.
The burst happened late on Friday in the Piedra Fina zone, an area in Ecuador's Amazon where regressive erosion caused the OCP pipeline and the state-owned SOTE pipeline to halt pumping in December, forcing the government to declare force majeure over its oil exports and production.
Regressive erosion has advanced steadily in the area since 2020, threatening pipelines and causing problems for water sources for Ecuador's largest hydroelectric plant and a highway.
