Financial Associated Press, Dec. 12 - on the 10th local time, an oil spill occurred in Rio Negro Province in southern Argentina, polluting a large area of land. It is understood that at noon that day, alderval's main local oil transmission pipeline broke, resulting in a large amount of oil leakage. At present, a number of unloaded oil tankers are pumping oil on site to curb the further spread of leaked oil as soon as possible. The government is sending drones to identify the affected areas. Professionals said that the leakage accident was the most serious in Argentina in recent 10 years, or it was related to the excessive pressure of the local oil pipeline caused by the recent sharp increase in oil production in the "dead cow" basin.
