Background

The Carrasco-Cochabamba (OCC) pipeline, which was non-operational from 1999 to 2005 due to lack of crude oil, finally began commercial operations in June 2005.[1] In late 2015, a truck collided with the pipeline in Shinaota municipality starting a fire and causing infrastructural damage.[8]
