ECUADOR: Landslides and oil spills – a recurrent problem
Ecuadorean authorities once again struggled to contain an oil spill in March, in the latest environmental disaster to strike the pipeline network. According to an analysis of state oil company Petroecuador’s records, carried out by Ecuadorean news outlet Primicias, the 13 March spill in Esmeraldas province was the worst to affect the trans-Ecuadorean pipeline system (Sote) since 1998. Whilst Petroecuador initially said that the oil spill was caused by a landslide that ruptured the pipeline, the government has since claimed that it was an act of sabotage.
