The first consists of the rehabilitation of the infrastructure of the lot, focused on critical services, while the second will carry out the rehabilitation of the production structure of the deposits.

As is known, in accordance with the License Agreement that will extend until 2053, Petroperú will assume the operation of Lot 192, the same one that has been paralyzed since February 2020, hand in hand with a strategic partner and contemplating a Social Fund for the development of the native communities in the area.

Through this fund, which was created as part of the agreements reached in the Prior Consultation process, the neighboring communities of the Pastaza, Corrientes and Tigre basins will be directly benefited, which will be able to manage their own projects for benefits of its inhabitants, once oil production resumes in this important lot.
