Petroleos del Peru – Petroperú SA reported the attack and subsequent leakage of crude oil in the Norperuano Pipeline (ONP), which was detected in an area near kilometer 373.2 during the night of yesterday, Friday, December 31.
As part of its contingency plan, the oil company closed the valves and mobilized personnel to the area for the verification, control and containment of the hydrocarbon. It is worth mentioning that at this moment the ONP is in a programmed shutdown.
At the scene, the state company staff confirmed that there had been an intentional cut to the pipeline, exactly at kilometer 373.2 Section II of the ONP, near the native community Nueva Unida, district of Santa María de Nieva, province from Condorcanqui, Amazonas region.
“Petroperú vigorously rejects these acts perpetrated by unscrupulous people who attack the infrastructure of a critical national asset of great importance for the development of the country, the environment and the native communities of our Amazon,” he said in a statement.
Although in the first hours the company has carried out the preliminary containment of the crude oil, it has not been able to install the metal clamp in the place of the cut to guarantee the definitive containment of the leak, “due to the express refusal of the residents of the area” .
Petroperú has informed the control authorities about the findings in the field within the established deadlines and has been coordinating the filing of the police report for the corresponding investigations of this attack.
