Petroperú reaches unanimous agreement with native communities neighboring Lot 192

The state-owned company has reached a consensus that puts an end to tensions related to outstanding obligations not assumed by the operating partner of the aforementioned oil lot.

Petroperú, reaffirming its commitment to sustainable development and the well-being of the country's communities, reached a unanimous agreement with the leaders of the native communities surrounding Lot 192, in the Loreto region. This consensus, reached at a high-level meeting held at Petroperú's headquarters in Lima, puts an end to the tensions generated by the outstanding debts not assumed by the operating partner of the aforementioned oil lot.

The meeting was attended by the highest authorities of Petroperú, representatives of the Ombudsman's Office and Perupetro, as well as leaders of the communities of Titiyacu, Nuevo Porvenir, Nuevo Andoas, Los Jardines, Alianza Capahuari Yacu, José Olaya, Nueva Jerusalén, Antioquia and 12 de Octubre, in addition to representatives of the communal companies in the area.

Petroperú paid an initial amount as part of the commitment acquired and will make four other payments between the months of March and June of this year. These disbursements seek to honor the outstanding obligations not assumed by the operating partner with the communal companies that will participate in the pre-operational activities for the reactivation of Lot 192. For their part, the representatives of these communal companies must send Petroperú the supporting documentation for the services provided.

This agreement was supported by the Minister of Energy and Mines, Jorge Montero, who highlighted the role of Petroperú as a state-owned company committed to development and social peace. In addition, he announced that he will visit the facilities of Lot 192 together with the president of the board, Alejandro Narváez, and the general manager, Óscar Vera, to strengthen ties with the communities.

With this action, the company reaffirms its commitment to the sustainable development of Loreto, promoting peaceful coexistence, mutual respect and the safety of both the communities and Petroperú's operations.
