Background

The Ulé-Amuay gas pipeline system's main focus is to meet the requirements of the Petroleum Refinery Complex of Paraguaná. Upgrades were made to the pipeline in 1992.

In September 2020, pipeline owner PDVSA confirmed that gas from the pipeline had leaked into the Golfete de Coro. An explosion in the same area was reported by local fishermen.
