The completion of the Cano Limon pipeline and offshore loading facilities last month put Colombia's new Cano Limon crude into the world crude oil trade. Operators of the field, Empresa Colombia de Petroleos (Ecopetrol), Occidental de Colombia Inc., and Shell de Colombia Inc., expect an initial tanker loading capability of 90,000 b/d with total capacity reaching 250,000 b/d in by July. The crude oil will be loaded from a tanker-loading facility and a floating storage unit located offshore in the Caribbean Sea at the Covenas marine terminal. The loading facility will have two CALM buoys each capable of handling 40,000 bbl/hr, and will be able to handle two shuttle tankers at once.
