Last June, Perupetro reported that Petroperu qualified as an economic partner to enter the Talara lots, but needed a comprehensive service company to cover the technical requirements of the operation in lots I, VI and Z-2B. Now, the state could use the current contractors for its development, once this condition is saved.
Within the classification regulations, Perupetro indicates that, in order to technically qualify as an operator, a company like Petroperú must submit a comprehensive oil services contract to carry out at least four out of six activities in the fields.
The state company has already invited several interested parties and hopes to have the winner between September 15 and 20. With this signature, he finishes qualifying technically before the State to enter the lots of Talara and it is expedited for the license agreement.

However, a single batch requires between 12 and 16 activities. Then, the strategy in a second stage will cover the difference with the current contractor companies that provide services, for example, in the lot VI of Sapet (its contract ends on October 21), and of Block I, where the oil company already has a temporary contract that will be renewed to a license contract.
If these companies are not interested, a new tender will be launched among the many that today provide services in other fields, such as Olympic, CNPC or Graña y Montero, among others, and the most profitable offer will be chosen.
It has also been sought to say that Petroperú needs an initial capital of US$100 million at the time of the reversion, but from the state company they clarify that the investment programs will still be negotiated with Perupetro and that the drilling investments will only be made after the third year. , as happened with the lots V and VII. Meanwhile, progress will be made with the workover, that is, working on old wells.
partners in rollback
Petroperú hopes to reach 100% in blocks VI and I. In the case of Z-69 (an extension of Z-2B), various specialists, such as the former president of Petroperú, Carlos Vives, maintain that it should go with an operating partner, because they are risky technical conditions “that would not be within the reach of the company”.
Alexei Huertaa UNI professor, supports this position and points out that initial investments in offshore platforms are subject to the renewal of depreciated assets.
“It can be handled in two wayswith an additional loan from the State, or looking for a partner, which would be the best since it has greater opportunities to grow than those on land”, Huerta clarifies.
