Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. announced that it has commenced start-up of its Petroeléctrica Los Llanos ("PEL") electrical power transmission line, which connects the company operated Rubiales and Quifa oil fields to Colombia's electrical grid. This new 230 kilovolts transmission line runs 260 kilometers from the Chivor Substation, in the Boyaca Department, to the Rubiales field and will supply up to 192 megawatts per hour to two booster pumping stations at the ODL Pipeline, as well as substations at the Rubiales and Quifa fields.

The PEL line operations have started with power supply to Rubiales and Quifa field and are expected to be fully commissioned by mid-2014 once the substations at the ODL Pipeline are complete. The company has invested approximately USD 230 million in the construction of PEL, which is owned by the company and is held by Pacific Midstream Holding Corp.
