Petroecuador Declares Emergency in Major Oil Pipeline
State-owned oil company Petroecuador has declared an emergency in its main crude transport line, the Trans-Ecuadorian Pipeline System (SOTE), following landslides triggered by activity from the El Reventador volcano in Napo province.
The measure is intended to accelerate urgent contracts for mitigation work to protect the infrastructure from spills and structural damage, as
classified as "unforeseeable" under the nation's Public Procurement Law.
The emergency declaration is in effect for 60 days, allowing for direct contracts for specialized services like slope stabilization, drainage, and pipeline reinforcement.
- The SOTE pipeline transports more than 60% of Ecuador's oil from Amazonian fields to the port of Esmeraldas.
