Ecopetrol activated the contingency plan to deal with an incident due to “overflow of the oily water system at the Satellite station of the Lisama Production field, located in the Vizcaína village of San Vicente de Chucurí,” they indicated from the oil company.

The system presented an overflow after they were registered heavy rains with electrical storm for about two hours in the area.

The oily waters were contained in a floodable area where there are two emergency care crews and a fluid collection truck.

On Sunday morning, the area was inspected by the fauna and flora rescue team and the cleaning work will continue, they say from Ecopetrol.

The spill is under investigation and has already been reported to the environmental authorities.
