LIMA, March 23 (Reuters) - State-owned energy company
Petroperu PET.LM said on Wednesday that it expects its crude
oil pipeline in northwestern Peru to resume operations in about
65 days after two ruptures halted the flow of about 5,500
barrels per day.
Petroperu president German Velasquez added that the closure
of the pipeline had not affected its Talara refinery.
The ruptures, in late January and early February, spilled
3,000 barrels of crude in a remote Amazonian region, prompting
protests from indigenous communities.
The pipeline mainly transported oil from block 192, operated
by Pacific Exploration & Production Corp PRE.TO . Pacific did
not respond to requests for comment.
Official export data shows that Pacific has not produced any
oil from block 192 this month after reporting output of about
4,200 bpd on average in February - down from 9,400 bpd in
January.
