Ecuador’s Esmeraldas Refinery Restarts at 50% Capacity After Earthquake Damage

Petroecuador's Esmeraldas refinery has progressively restarted operations, the state-run oil producer said on Monday, after it was damaged in an earthquake late last month.

The refinery is operating at 50% capacity, Petroecuador said in a statement, adding the rest of the refinery's units should restart toward the end of the month.
