Oil Circuit

It starts in Manantiales, where the first oil well discovered in Tierra del Fuego in 1945 is. It is a must to visit Cerro Sombrero, village linked to oil activity with offices and other installations of the national oil company (ENAP). By the east mouth of the Magellan Strait, 60 km. to the north, is the battery reception of crude (BRC) where is received the oil produced by the oil platforms in the Strait. At the inside of the island, northbound, is the industrial complex Planta Cullen, a plant that processes mainly natural gas. 60 km. from Cerro Sombrero, in the way to Porvenir, are the port terminals of Clarencia and Puerto Percy, used to ship crude oil and natural gas.
