Cenit Transporte y Logistica de Hidrocarburos S.A.S., a subsidiary of oil firm Ecopetrol S.A., has prolonged its suspension of pumping operations at its Cano Limon-Covenas oil pipeline in Colombia after a new bombing attack damaged its infrastructure in the Arauca province on April 20, Reuters reported. The company has ceased pumping operations at the pipeline since April 14 due to other attacks. Cenit added that this is the ninth attack on the pipeline this year.
