In the first place, Perupetro will require the operators of the new oil lots that 1.5% of the valued production go directly to a social fund.
This social fund will become a trust that will be managed by Perupetro, the local authorities and the company. It will only be used for development projects.
A clause will also be included where it is guaranteed that the workers will continue in the respective lots after the signing of the new contracts.
“Work continuity will be guaranteed through a contract law and that cannot be modified except by agreement between the parties,” said the head of Perupetro.
