production<\/strong> by 4,300 barrels per day, which translates into a decrease in the country&#8217;s supply.\nThe lack of water in the Napo River has prevented the transfer of fuel to fields such as Eden-Yuturi and Apaika-Nenke, located in Blocks 12 and 31.\nThis situation has led to the stoppage of several oil wells.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oil production reduction measures<\/h2>\n\n<p>The state-owned oil company <strong>Petroecuador<\/strong> reported that the drought has made it difficult to transport supplies by barge, affecting production.\nNo improvement date has been estimated, as the situation depends on weather conditions. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
