16-08-07 Transportadora de Gas del Peru, or TGP, has halted operations at the Camisea liquids pipeline after the natural gas fractionation plant shut down in Pisco following an earthquake that hit Peru, a spokesman said.
TGP runs twin pipelines that bring natural gas and natural gas liquids from the Camisea gas fields in south-eastern Peru to the coast.

According to TGP spokesman Rafael Guarderas, the pipelines didn't suffer any damages.
"Nothing happened to either pipeline. If the plant in Pisco had not shut down we would still be running," he said. The plant in Pisco is run by Pluspetrol Peru and is located close to the epicentre of the magnitude 7.9 earthquake.

At least 337 people were killed and 827 other injured in the earthquake, according to figures from Peru's Civil Defence organization.
The earthquake has also caused electricity, telecommunications and transport problems in southern Peru.
