The pipeline is about 771 kms long and has a maximum capacity of 220 thousand barrels per day.
Crude oil from the Cano Limon field in the Colombian province of Arauca is transported by this pipeline to the Covenas maritime and tanker terminal in the province of Sucre.
Ecopetrol will be granted access to the pipeline’s surplus capacity, once transport requirements for Cano Limon crude have been met, allowing for the transportation of the highest crude production from the Eastern Plains.
The company said that the operation is in line with other projects it has undertaken to increase crude transportation in order to meet Colombia’s growing oil production.
