Instant Max AI

(Energy Analytics Institute, Piero Stewart, 28.Oct.2018) — Petroleum sector accidents and oil spills in Venezuela have become an almost regular occurrence.

Between two and three accidents are happening each per week in PDVSA operational areas as well as a similar number of oil spills, reported the daily newspaper El Nacional, citing comments from Federation of Oil Workers of Venezuela (FUTPV) union official José Bodas.

“Accidents are becoming more frequent at oil industry facilities because preventive maintenance is not done,” said Bodas. “And, PDVSA doesn’t report accidents to the corresponding authorities as stipulated by the Organic Law related to work environment accidents.”
