IPIGP urges Repsol to hire transnational companies specialized in oil spill remediation

The Peruvian Institute of Gas and Petroleum Engineers (IPIGP) urged Repsol to obtain the participation of transnational companies specialized in remediation of oil spills in the sea, to isolate the floating layer of crude oil and to control the invasion of the beaches and their mobilization. to the north, a measure that should have been done from the beginning.

“The layer of oil that floats on the sea surface due to its low gravity is easily mobilized by the sea current that follows a northerly direction,” he pointed out and emphasized that in these cases the important thing is the remedial actions that must be carried out immediately.

The IPIGP also criticized the fact that the Spanish company has not acted as promptly as is recommended to deal with the remediation of this type of accident common in many oil regions of the world.

“Understanding the scope of accidents and the promptness with which they are controlled prevents the magnitude of ecological problems as surprising as those we are seeing. Likewise, it is striking that Repsol does not rationally explain what happened and the way it deals with the remediation of the oil spill”, he pointed out.
