YEAR 2012
These lines maintain an average operating percentage of
around 78.96% and 66.22% of the time, respectively.
In the case of jet fuel and kerosene-diesel, the volume pumped
via the pipeline has been greater than the sales of these
products; causing the indicator´s value to falls below 1. It is
noteworthy that when the indicator´s value is less than 1 it
indicates an increase in the inventory at the plants, as more is
pumped than sold. When the ratio is greater than 1 it implies
then sales exceed and cause a loss of inventories as presented
in the case of gasoline.
In the case of Av Gas pumping batch size limits the possibility
of transporting these products by pipeline, so all transfers of
product has been carried out in tanks since 2008.
