PETROPERÚ restarts the transportation of hydrocarbons through the North Peruvian Pipeline

PETROPERÚ restarted the transport of hydrocarbons through the North Peruvian Pipeline - ONP, thus reactivating the oil activity in the Amazon, after remaining paralyzed, since last October 4, due to the seizure of Station 5 by residents of communities native.

Last Wednesday, December 22, the ONP began to pump from Station 1, the 340 thousand barrels of crude that were stored in the facilities located in San José de Saramuro, Urarinas district, to Station 5, in the Manseriche district, both located in the Loreto region.

As is known, this crude from the Perenco and Petrotal operators could not be transported because the transport activities were paralyzed by the force measure adopted by the native communities, demanding that the Executive pay attention to their demands.

After 74 days, and the persistent dialogue that was established between PETROPERÚ, the Executive and indigenous organizations, control of the facilities was regained on Thursday, December 17.

From that moment, PETROPERÚ deployed its personnel and immediately activated the tasks that would allow the ONP to reactivate its pumping and safe transport operations of hydrocarbons, in strict compliance with the security protocols, contemplated in the COVID-19 Surveillance, Prevention and Control Plan.

Meanwhile, the Presidency of the Council of Ministers - PCM, announced the installation of a Working Group, on January 15, 2022, to begin the implementation of the plan to close gaps in the population located in the oil field.

Patrolling

To guarantee that these transport activities are carried out normally and without setbacks, PETROPERÚ carries out land patrols in Section I, as well as the maintenance of all pumping equipment located in all ONP Stations.

PETROPERÚ reaffirms its commitment to the sustainable development of the communities in the ONP's area of influence, through actions that contribute to improving their quality of life, in coordination with the Executive authorities.
