LONDON (Alliance News) - Amerisur Resources PLC Friday said the Colombian government has approved the modification of its Platanillo field exploitation licence.
The modification, approved by Colombia's Autoridad Nacional de Licenciamiento Ambiental, a part of the country's environment ministry, will allow for the construction and operation of the Ecuador interconnector oil pipeline.
The Colombian authorities have also approved the company's application for the operation of two water disposal wells per production pad at Platanillo.
"This approval from the ANLA completes all required Colombian permits for our Ecuador interconnector project and we look forward to completing all arrangements for the Ecuadorian element of the project which are well in hand. I am very grateful for the constructive approach adopted by the authorities in relation to this important bi-national project," said Giles Clarke, Amerisur's chairman.
