Print articleAddendum No. 11 of the PPAA
May, 2020 - Marianna Boza
Despite the fact that the fall in oil prices and the health crisis caused by COVID-19 have severely hit the hydrocarbon industry worldwide, the National Hydrocarbon Agency ("ANH") published on April 28, 2020 the Addendum No 11 through which it modified the schedule of the Permanent Area Allocation Process (“PPAA”), thus ratifying the interest of the National Government in this industry.
Thus, if the dates included in the new schedule are met, by November 30 the new contracts would start to be executed. The schedule, among others, established that the deposit of the final offers will be on October 30, and the interested companies will be able to submit their counteroffers on November 17.It is worth mentioning that the number of blocks to be offered in this third cycle has not been defined; however, the ANH seeks to have at least 50. The blocks that were not awarded in previous cycles will be part of the areas offered in this third cycle.
Therefore the schedule is modified in order to: (i) expand the second period for the submission of request for incorporation of areas; (ii) establish the publication date of the areas subject to the PPAA; and (iii) define the dates for the activities included in the third cycle of the PPAA.
Thus, the schedule of the PPAA has been amended as follows:
