NABEP Replaces Decades-Old Steel Lines with 1,149 Kilometers of New Pipe on Lake Maracaibo

BACHAQUERO, Venezuela, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — North American Blue Energy Partners (NABEP) has installed 1,149 kilometers of new flexible pipe on the eastern shore of Lake Maracaibo since beginning operations there in 2024. The pipe replaces aging steel lines, which have been a main source of leaks that have damaged the lake for decades.

Flexible pipe with protective layers resists the corrosion associated with old steel. Laid in continuous sections from barges, it has fewer joints where leaks typically start. NABEP also repaired critical sections of 12-inch oil and gas trunk lines this year by installing nearly four kilometers of new steel pipe.

Lake Maracaibo’s pollution problem dates to the early 1900s. Decades of intensive production, inadequate maintenance and underinvestment left most of the lake’s estimated 25,000 kilometers of underwater pipeline corroding. In 2021, a SimĂłn BolĂ­var University scientist told NASA’s Earth Observatory that most of the pipelines were 50 years old. NASA has also cited estimates of 40,000 to 50,000 oil leaks and spills across Venezuela between 2010 and 2016 alone.

NABEP inherited part of that network in 2024 and made replacing it a priority. Rather than patching old lines section by section, the company is replacing each well’s lines entirely. The program has run new flow and gas lines to 435 wells in the Bachaquero and Ceuta fields. Of those, 301 are already producing through the new pipe, with about 52,000 barrels of oil a day now flowing from the wellhead through new lines. The remaining wells have their new lines in place and will produce through them when they come back online.

“Decades of neglect have left oil on Lake Maracaibo’s shores and fishing families struggling to make a living from its waters,” said NABEP CEO Alejandro Betancourt. “Cleanups alone can’t keep up while old pipes keep leaking, so we’re reinvesting in a lasting fix: replacing the corroded lines we inherited, one by one. We are working steadily to replace the graveyard of rusted equipment and oil slicks we see today with modern infrastructure built to the highest safety and environmental standards. We’re committed to being good stewards of this lake and good neighbors to the communities that depend on it.”

The work continues. NABEP has 176 kilometers of new pipe in storage, 791 more in transit, and plans to lay about 3,400 additional kilometers, including new lines connecting 144 wells to the Bachaquero 3 compressor plant. The program is part of broader efforts to clean up and restore Lake Maracaibo.

Across the Americas, Europe and Asia, PhotonPay holds 35 payment licenses, regulatory authorizations and registrations, reflecting the regulatory breadth behind its operations across key financial markets.

For PhotonPay, building a global financial operating system requires more than connecting payment capabilities across markets. It also means developing the local regulatory and financial infrastructure needed to support those capabilities in each jurisdiction. As businesses expand internationally, their financial operations increasingly span different account structures, payment systems, currencies and regulatory environments. Bringing these functions together requires infrastructure that can address local market requirements while giving businesses a more unified way to manage their global finances.

This is the vision behind PhotonPay’s next-generation Financial OS. Through an integrated, API-first architecture, PhotonPay brings together multi-asset wallets, local collections, global payouts, foreign exchange, card issuing and embedded finance. By supporting both fiat currencies and stablecoins within its broader financial infrastructure, the platform connects traditional payment rails with emerging digital-asset capabilities, helping businesses manage increasingly complex financial operations across markets.

“Global financial infrastructure must be designed around the realities of the markets it serves. Regulatory frameworks, payment systems and the responsibilities involved in handling funds differ across jurisdictions, and these differences need to be accounted for at the infrastructure level,” said JP Pi, Global Chief Compliance Officer at PhotonPay. “Our approach is to build a Financial OS that brings together global capabilities while respecting the regulatory and operational requirements of each local market. The RPAA registration is another step in putting that approach into practice, as we continue developing infrastructure to support businesses operating across an increasingly interconnected financial landscape.”

Episode 1: Small Station, Giant Leap: How the World Was Connected

From Distributed Base Stations to SingleRAN: Driving Mobile Network Deployment Through Architectural Innovation

On a high-speed train traveling at nearly 350 kilometers per hour, a surgeon can download hundreds of CT scan images over a mobile network to provide timely remote medical consultations. At altitudes exceeding 6,000 meters in the Mount Everest region, scientific researchers can stay connected with colleagues thousands of miles away through real-time video links, enabling remote scientific collaboration. From high-speed railways to the roof of the world, the first two episodes of the documentary explore how mobile communications technology continues to overcome the limitations of speed and geography. To trace the architectural innovations behind these advances, the story takes us back more than two decades to the early days of 3G network deployment in Europe.

In the early 2000s, European telecom operators faced significant challenges in deploying 3G networks, including difficulties in acquiring sites, lengthy deployment cycles, and high costs. In 2004, Huawei engineers visited customer sites to gain firsthand insights into these challenges and pioneered a distributed base station architecture comprising a compact Baseband Unit (BBU) and Remote Radio Units (RRUs). This innovation enabled operators to deploy network equipment more flexibly while significantly reducing network construction costs. Huawei’s distributed base stations were first deployed in the Netherlands in 2005, followed by large-scale commercial deployment in Spain in 2006. Over time, the distributed base station became a mainstream architecture for mobile network deployment worldwide.

As the coexistence of 2G, 3G, and other mobile networks created growing challenges of duplicated infrastructure, Huawei made further breakthroughs in key technologies, including GSM multi-carrier digital predistortion (DPD), and introduced its SingleRAN solution. By integrating multiple radio access technologies on a unified hardware platform, SingleRAN enabled operators to deploy different network standards together and smoothly evolve their networks across successive generations of mobile technology. In 2008, a German telecom operator became the first in Germany to deploy Huawei’s multi-mode base station solution, marking the beginning of SingleRAN’s commercial adoption in Europe. Since then, SingleRAN has been widely deployed around the world, driving the evolution of mobile networks toward multi-band, multi-mode integration while helping operators significantly reduce network deployment and operating costs.

From Massive MIMO to Polar Code Implementation: Turning Cutting-Edge Research into Real-World Applications

At the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center, 62,356 football fans gathered for the Su Super League final. Spectators shared highlights in real time on their smartphones, with photos, videos, and live-streaming data flowing rapidly across mobile networks. This high-density connectivity, featured in Episode 3, reflects the explosive growth in data demand in the mobile internet era. How to accommodate ever-increasing data traffic using limited spectrum resources has long been a major technical challenge for the mobile communications industry.

Huawei has continuously invested in Massive MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) research, leveraging innovations such as large-scale antenna arrays to bring this cutting-edge technology from theoretical research to commercial deployment.
