Ecuador has declared a state of emergency in two oil producing areas

State of emergency in oil-producing areas of Azuay and Imbabura declared.

I posted this re the country earlier this week:

• Ecuador says its oil output may stop completely in 48 hours

Which was a bit of a heads up. This from Reuters just a little while ago:

• Ecuador's Oriente crude exports suspended, Napo flowing amid force majeure

Also, this (Reuters)

• Venezuela's state company PDVSA has suspended gasoline production at the country's second largest refinery due to an outage at its reformer, five sources with knowledge of the operations said on Wednesday.
