Bombs damage Colombia's Mansoya and Cano Limon pipelines

BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombian state-run oil company Ecopetrol reported two bomb attacks on its pipelines on Tuesday - the first caused a fire on the Mansoya Orito pipeline, while the second damaged the Cano Limon pipeline, spilling crude into a nearby ravine.

The Mansoya Orito, in southern Putumayo, close to the border with Ecuador, was hit overnight. It was not operating during the attack, Ecopetrol said in a statement early on Tuesday.

The 73.4-kilometer pipeline has capacity to transport about 24,000 barrels of crude daily from fields in Putumayo.

It will be interesting to see where Colombia goes, it has some major problems, it is probably better off than Mexico, Venezuela and perhaps even Brazil but some disconcerting events nonetheless.

...24,000 barrels of crude daily...

That is a really little pipeline.
