Background

Some areas which the pipeline passes through are geologically unstable. In January 2016, a landslide provoked by heavy rains damaged the pipeline, causing a gas leak and disruptions to service. In January 2021, YPBF was finalizing repair work on the GCC in the Sillar zone for damage done by another landslide which washed away nearly 70 meters of the pipeline in Villa Tunari. Heavy rains in the same area again ruptured the pipeline and interrupted service in January 2022.
