Ecuador lifted a three-week force majeure on all oil contracts as the country\u2019s two pipelines that transport crude across the Andes resumed operations following a flare-up in riverbed erosion, allowing Amazon territory fields to restart production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ecuador\u2019s output has risen<\/a> to almost 435,000 barrels a day since the Trans-Ecuadorian Oil Pipeline System — owned by state-run Petroecuador<\/a> — and the privately-held Heavy Crude Pipeline went back online ahead of the New Year. Rescheduled exports of Oriente and Napo crude are to resume shortly, the Energy Ministry said in a statement late Wednesday. The government estimates a short-term income loss of $533 million from the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

River erosion near critical pipeline infrastructure has accelerated since the Coca-Codo Sinclair hydro-electric power plant, Ecuador\u2019s biggest, was inaugurated in late 2016. A landslide along the river in April 2020 severed both pipelines, triggering spills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the pipelines forced offline to once again build bypasses, fields had to shut down as storage tanks filled up.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ecuador\u2019s third force majeure on oil contracts since the two pipelines snapped in 2020 dealt a blow to President Guillermo Lasso, who aims to overcome years of stagnant production in the former OPEC member and more than double output to near 1 million barrels a day.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clause, which is invoked to remove liability from failing to honor contracts in the event of disasters, went into effect on Dec. 12. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

International agencies, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, are working to help Ecuador find a solution to the damage from the aggressive erosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
