(Energy Analytics Institute, Jared Yamin, 4.May.2018) – Peru’s President Martin Vizcarra announced his government plans to review all petroleum exploration contracts awarded in the country.

His comments come as artisan fishermen in northern Peru continue to protest decrees that authorized Perupetro to award five petroleum lots, also known as ‘lotes’ in Spanish, to Ireland’s Tullow Oil, reported the daily El Comercio.

“If we find things that don’t have justification, we will not sign the contracts,” said Vizcarra. “This includes lots awarded to Tullow Oil.”
