🇻🇪🔥 BREAKING: Venezuela’s second-largest refinery SHUT DOWN after massive fire
Venezuela’s Cardón refinery has halted operations after a major fire erupted inside the facility in Falcón state.
The refinery has a nominal capacity of 310,000 barrels per day and forms part of the massive Paraguaná Refining Complex. Personnel were evacuated as flames and huge columns of smoke rose from the facility.
Regional reports describe an explosion preceding the fire, while Reuters reports a gas line associated with a gasoil-producing unit opened before the refinery was shut down. The cause has not yet been officially established.
