Background

The RODA pipeline network transports oil from several oil production facilities in the Ecuadorian Amazon to Lago Agrio, Ecuador, where it feeds into the SOTE Oil Pipeline for onward transport to Petroecuador's Balao terminal on the Pacific coast. The network's southern branches bring in oil from stations at Edén Yuturi, Limoncocha, Indillana, Cononaco, Auca, Sacha and Shushufindi, converging at the Shushufindi refinery before continuing to Lago Agrio; the network's northern branch runs from the Victor Hugo Ruales (VHR) oilfield through Cuyabeno, Sucumbios, Atacapi and Parahuacu en route to Lago Agrio.
