Oil and gas exploration and development company Perenco has engaged Fugro to provide detailed topographic mapping of a proposed oil pipeline route in northern Peru.
Fugro has said that the airborne data acquisition for the Peruvian pipeline route was completed using Fugro’s airborne GeoSAR radar mapping system. The data is expected to support geological interpretation, slope analysis, wetlands delineation and pipeline routing.
Perenco holds a 100 per cent interest in the licence contract for Block 67 in the Maranon Basin, which contains possible resources of over 300 MMbbl across the Paiche, Dorado and Pirana fields.
Perenco’s development plan includes the drilling of over 100 wells from 10 platforms and the construction of central processing facilities and local pipelines for delivery of crude oil into the export pipeline system. The pipeline system will transport production to the Bayovar export terminal, located 1,000 km from Block 67 on the Pacific coast.
