Overview
- Environmental prosecutors, OEFA and the Capitanía carried out field inspections in Urarinas to assess the spill’s footprint and verify response measures.
- The inspection, led by prosecutor Jackeline Hoffman Panduro, reviewed impacts near the native communities of Saramurillo and San José de Saramuro.
- The incident occurred on Saturday during pre-embarkation operations involving the AF Goias 3000 barge serving Uplan/Upland Oil & Gas on the Trompeteros–Estación 1 route.
- Petroperú and the operator reported a technical failure in a barge fitting, stating most crude remained on the vessel with a smaller volume entering the river as contingency plans were activated.
- The Ministerio Público pledged strict follow-up while containment and cleanup continue, with Petroperú mobilizing crews and notifying OEFA and the Yurimaguas port authority.
