PERUPETRO SA today inaugurated its Liaison Office in Trujillo (La Libertad), in order to promote the development of hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation activities in the region, as well as to strengthen communication and relations with the various interest groups linked to this activity.

Last June, PERUPETRO's Board of Directors approved the creation of two liaison offices in the regions of La Libertad and Lambayeque, to coordinate and address the information requirements of the various interest groups in each area and promote the development of activities that will enable the viability of hydrocarbon exploration and production projects.

The Liaison Office will be located at the headquarters of the College of Economists of La Libertad, for which, PERUPETRO and said institution signed an Inter-Institutional Cooperation Agreement today.

This Agreement promotes the joint development of cooperation and mutual technical assistance activities, as well as the promotion of hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation activities in La Libertad.

PERUPETRO Chairman of the Board, Jorge Pesantes, said that the development of Cuenca Trujillo, located off the coasts of La Libertad and Lambayeque, could transform the economy of both regions, generating significant benefits for their populations and for the country.

For his part, the Dean of the College of Economists, Francisco Huerta, expressed the need to promote investments that reactivate the economic development of the region and indicated that the hydrocarbon sector is a great opportunity to boost the economy of La Libertad.

PERUPETRO currently has decentralized offices in Talara (Piura), Iquitos (Loreto), Pucallpa (Ucayali) and a liaison office will soon be established in Chiclayo (Lambayeque), to continue promoting the development of the hydrocarbon sector in the country.
