It was learned that the inspection was carried out last Sunday and this Monday they began manufacturing the pipeline clamp to stop the leak. However, to complete this maneuver, PDVSA must temporarily shut off the gas supply so that work can be done to seal the leak which, according to inspectors, is quite severe and represents a great danger to the community that fishes in the area.
The gas leak was reported on July 9th by fishermen and can be seen from the shore of Tiguadare, since it is located just 1.2 kilometers away. The sea laborers assure that this leak prevents fishing and also puts the boats that pass near the place at risk, because any small spark from an engine can generate an explosion.
Although the locals detected the leak at the beginning of July, it was not until August 20th that PDVSA went on to inspect the leak to begin the work to repair the pipeline.
