he General Manager Petroamazonas EP, Alex Galarraga announced that until December this year the company expects to reach 470,000 barrels a day of oil, consolidating the tendency to increase production with optimized costs projected on USD 17 per barrel.
The statements were made in the context of the conference on development, technical, social and environmental Bloc 43 ITT, which were held in Quito and Guayaquil, this week. In the talk he explained that the company expects production Tiputini field reaches a production of 40,000 barrels per day until December that field production is currently about 25,000 barrels per day.

As part of the exhibition, the manager of Petroamazonas EP stressed the importance for the country's development of Block 43, for its 1,672 million barrels of reserves and resources certified by Ryder Scott. He stressed that drilling costs are optimal between 2.5 million and 3 million.
In addition, the Engineer Gal?rraga highlighted the technical and structural characteristics carried out in the development of Tiputini field as engineering design, 3D models, mechanical and piping, flow lines, among others.
"Environmental and social awareness must be embedded in all oil operations," said Holder Petroamazonas EP referring to the 104 implemented environmental safeguards and the relationship between the company and eight communities in the area in developing projects social compensation.
