The head of the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) highlighted that this state megaproject generates 3,873 total direct jobs per month and has reached a maximum of 9,500 workers in the peak period of the construction stage, highlighting the presence of several women professionals, who work in the areas of operations and support.
The head of the MINEM was accompanied by the Vice Minister of Electricity, Martín Dávila; the president of the board of directors of Petroperú, Humberto Campodónico; the president of the board of directors of the Supervisory Agency for Investment in Energy and Mines (Osinergmin), Omar Chambergo and other sector officials. During his tour, Herrera Jara confirmed that the execution of the work of this modern infrastructure shows an advance of more than 98% , and the operations schedule is being met, and he stressed that, from now on, Peruvian users will be able to enjoy clean, high-quality fuel, due to the high processing standards used.
This new technology, called flexicoking, which the New Talara Refinery has, will convert products of low economic value into high value products such as gasoline and diesel of the best possible quality and friendly to the environment; In addition, it will be able to process up to 95 thousand barrels of oil per day.
Likewise, Minister Herrera Jara stressed that air quality will be preserved and improved by producing fuels with less than 50 parts per million (ppm) of sulfur. He also highlighted the implementation of the seawater collection, desalination and treatment plant, which marks an important milestone in the gradual start-up of the refinery.
Finally, the head of the sector highlighted the social initiatives that Petroperú has promoted within the framework of this megaproject, such as the donation of the Talara Modular Hospital, which has allowed the care of more than 39 thousand patients with COVID-19; and the installation of a photovoltaic lighting system for the Talara Artisanal Fishing Landing, among others.
