	Department of State Report to Congress on Caño Limón Pipeline, December 2002
		Despite the presence of these forces, the Cano Limon pipeline was the principal infrastructure target of the FARC and ELN in 2001 with 170 attacks, the vast majority of which took place in Arauca Department.
		Revenues generated from oil production at Cano Limon are collected by the CNA in a joint account, which is then disbursed with 20 percent dedicated to royalties and the remainder divided between Ecopetrol, Occidental, and Repsol (through Occidental Petroleumcol and Occidental Petroleumandina) in accordance with their ownership portions.
		Cano Limon in 2001 were approximately $66 million. For the 12-month period ending June 30, 2002, these are estimated to have been $75 million.

	americas.org - Cano Limon oil pipe shut by attacks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		BOGOTA, Colombia, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Pumping at the northeastern Colombian Cano Limon oil field, operated by Occidental Petroleum Corp. , may be curtailed by rebel attacks that paralyzed its pipeline, a source with direct knowledge of the situation said on Friday.
		The pipeline, which stretches 490 miles (780 km) north from the field near the Venezuelan border to Colombia's Atlantic coast, was shut down last weekend after at least two bombings by leftist guerrillas.
		Both the 17,000-strong Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known by its Spanish initials FARC, and the 5,000-strong National Liberation Army, or ELN, operate in the area of the Cano Limon field, in the province of Arauca, and along the route of the pipeline.

		Caño Limon, located in northeastern Colombia in the department of Arauca on the border with Venezuela, is the country's second largest oilfield.
		The initial operations of Occidental in Arauca and the construction of Caño Limon were extremely controversial.
		Since the construction of the Caño Limon - Coveñas pipeline, it has been a frequent target by guerrilla groups, mainly by the ELN (the National Liberation Army) and to a lesser yet still significant degree by the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia), which have attacked it 962 times since 1986[31].

		Government figures show that 2.5 million barrels of spilled Cano Limon crude have oozed into Colombia's rivers and ranges during the last 15 years--about 10 times the volume of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska.

	Protection for Oil Pipeline Raises US Profile in Colombia; New Policy Stirs Fears Bush Seeks to Widen War
		BOGOTA, Colombia -- The Cano Limon oil pipeline, which snakes almost 500 miles across northern Colombia, was once the focus of dreams for national prosperity.
		The pipeline began operation in 1986 and pumps around 110,000 barrels a day of crude oil from the Cano Limon field, operated by Occidental in Arauca province on the border with Venezuela, to the Caribbean coastal town of Covenas.
		Although Cano Limon is an alternative source of oil for the United States, its total production hardly qualifies it to be considered strategically important.

		The suspension of production at Oxy's Cano Limon oil field on the edge of Colombia's Amazon basin comes after guerrilla attacks along the 400-mile pipeline connecting the field with Caribbean oil depots, which have cost the lives of 30 Colombian soldiers and one civilian since July 6.
		The closure at Cano Limon, the third since 1992, is the latest example of increasing lawlessness in Colombia as oil producers are met with deadly opposition from rebels who depict foreign oil companies as public enemies.
		Oxy opened the Cano Limon oil field in 1985 but has since turned over 60% ownership to state-owned Ecopetrol and sold a 20% interest to Shell.

		For many years, it tried to drill for oil on the sacred lands of the U'wa Indians, but finally abandoned a direct role in that effort last year in the face of criticism by environmental and human rights organisations and local resistance.
