Ecuadoran state oil firm Petroecuador on Monday said weather-related damage to a power line affected more than 700 wells in its most productive blocks in the country's Amazon region, further biting into its crude output.
In a statement, Petroecuador did not estimate the impact of Sunday's incident on its production levels, but said it was working to normalize output in the coming days after the resulting power outage affected 728 of its wells.
