💨 Abstract

A rupture in Ecuador's SOTE crude pipeline caused by a landslide resulted in the spill of over 25,000 barrels of oil, affecting three rivers, wildlife, and approximately 5,300 people. The spill also impacted nine beaches, 294 hectares of agricultural land, and at least three rivers in the coastal province of Esmeraldas.
