What Happened in El Palito Refinery?

April 17, 2020

The Venezuelan El Palito refinery located in Puerto Cabello, Carabobo state, was reactivated, after a recovery process developed by PDVSA workers and the mobilization of a ship with millions of liters of water and another with additives to produce gasoline.

Luis Daniel González, deputy manager of the refinery, congratulated the plant workers for having achieved a much-needed action for the country in times of heavy sanctions and Covid-19 quarantine.

The refinery, a fluid bed catalytic cracking plant, will be available to produce 80,000 barrels of crude oil daily, to empty 40,000 barrels and to process 5,000 barrels daily in its catalytic cracking plant and to produce 35,000 barrels of gasoline per day. Likewise, it will be processing diesel, gas and other oil derivatives whose production has been affected since the state of alarm was declared in Venezuela.

President Maduro announced on April 12 that the difficulties in the supply of gasoline would be solved in the coming weeks and that the stoppage of the refinery has been mainly caused by US sanctions against Venezuela that directly attack the national economy and the operation of basic processes.

Orinoco Tribune operates without any advertising. We are not funded by any governments, think tanks, or large institutions. Our operations are entirely funded by readers like you. Our most generous donors have been targeted by the US for supporting socialist causes or are financially struggling. As a result, their accounts have been frozen, cutting off a significant revenue stream and severely threatening the sustainability of Orinoco Tribune.

We urge our readers and supporters, especially those not currently doing so, to help us with small donation (such as US $5 or $10/month) via Patreon, via Paypal/Credit-Card/crypto or via paper checks. Readers and supporters like you will allow us to continue bringing you progressive and hard-hitting news from Latin America, the Global South, and the world.

Help us reach our goal of $650 in monthly Patreon donations. We are counting on you as our only source of financial support!
