Supersociedades sanctioned Gasoriente, subsidiary of Grupo Vanti, for 1,545 million pesos

TL;DR

  • The SIC issued sanctions exceeding 1.6 billion pesos against a service station and a natural gas supplier.
  • The sanctioning was due to continued operation after an order for immediate suspension, which risked public safety.
  • GAS NATURAL DEL ORIENTE S.A. (GASORIENTE S.A.) was fined $1,545,236,000 pesos.
  • SERVITECA SAN PEDRO GAS NATURAL VEHICULAR owner, Helena Reyes Monsalve, was fined $84,285,600 pesos.
  • The entities failed to comply with orders to stop operations that were not in line with technical requirements for GNCV supply.
  • The service station supplied fuel to vehicles lacking the mandatory electronic identification chip (security chip).
  • This chip is required by technical regulations and ensures vehicle identification, authorization, and safe operation.
  • The absence of the chip prevents traceability and increases the risk of system failures, leaks, and incidents.
  • The SIC had previously ordered the immediate suspension of GNCV commercialization and supply, but both entities continued.
  • GASORIENTE S.A. failed to take necessary actions to enforce the suspension of supply.
