A refinery in Cuatro Cañadas remains stopped despite plans to produce diesel and a stated capacity to process up to 120,000 liters of crude oil each day.

The plant’s operators say bureaucracy and a lack of raw material are preventing it from starting. The facility is still waiting for authorizations from Bolivia’s National Hydrocarbons Agency.

The company says it has already submitted the required documentation. It is now awaiting a temporary license that would allow it to begin testing and then operate continuously.
