Petroecuador declares emergency at Ecuador's biggest refinery after fire damages
QUITO, May 29 (Reuters) - Ecuador's state oil producer, Petroecuador, on Thursday declared a 60-day emergency at the South American nation's largest oil refinery, its second emergency in just one month, after a fire this week caused damage to some fuel tanks.
Petroecuador had at the end of April declared a separate 60-day emergency at the Esmeraldas refinery in northern Ecuador due to damages from a magnitude 6.3 earthquake that struck the area.
