Regarding the information that is being disseminated in some media about the New Talara Refinery (NRT), Petroperú specifies the following:

The NRT has all the permits and approvals required -to date- by Peruvian regulations. To this end, it has processed more than 600 files before different State entities (Supervisory Body for Investment in Energy and Mining (Osinergmin); National Environmental Certification Service for Sustainable Investments (Senace); Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM); National Water Authority (ANA), General Directorate of Captaincies and Coast Guard (DICAPI), among others).

For the start-up of each of the refinery units, all the plant's safety systems were tested and validated by licensors and international experts (under standards that are even higher than those required in our country). Likewise, all emergency response systems (sprinklers, monitors, autonomous emergency stop system, foam system, fire trucks, etc.) were tested and validated in capacity and operability in the highest risk scenarios identified, in tests of field carried out with Osinergmin specialists before the operation of each unit, thereby guaranteeing the safe operation of the refinery.

Regarding the Risk Study and the Emergency Response Plan of the NRT, they were prepared by international specialists, and it is necessary to indicate that Petroperú has complied with presenting them in a timely manner.

The emergency recorded last Friday was immediately controlled by the company's personnel who have been trained and trained for this purpose. Likewise, the automatic security systems and emergency plans worked and protected the integrity of the FCC unit and its auxiliary equipment, with no personal or material damage to be regretted.

In line with all of the above, Petroperú guarantees compliance with all permits and reiterates that the NRT operates with the highest safety standards for the normal supply of fuel to the country.
