Perupetro to Sign 18 E&P Contracts by End-2006
Perupetro plans to sign the first of the E&P contracts for block 122 in Peru's Maranon basin with Canadian oil firm Gran Tierra Energy (Nasdaq: GTRE) on November 3, the statement said.
The signing follows a September 27 supreme decree that ratified an initial contract Gran Tierra signed for the area last June.
The block will mark Gran Tierra's entry into the country. Gran Tierra plans to evaluate expansion through the acquisition of production assets and E&P contracts with the government, company president and CEO Dana Coffield told BNamericas.
The company will begin aerogravity and magnetic testing in early 2007, followed by a 2D seismic program and the drilling of a well, although neither an exact time line nor investment figure has been established.
