To weigh to the fears you expressed by some
ambientalistas and expert in oil matters, the Nicaraguan Institute
of Energy (INE) is anuente to permit the construction of an
oleoducto that practically will cross Nicaragua from coast to coast.
The INE received yesterday of official form, of part of the
business Oleoductos Premier of Nicaragua, the request of a License
to build an oleoducto in our country.
Rick Wojcik,
international president of the business explained that the oleoducto
will have capacity to transport 480 thousand daily barrels of
petroleum, originating from Venezuela and directed to the Asian
market. The construction requires an investment of some 500 ó 600
million dollars in the country.
The project would enter
functions inside two years; the first year would be to fill the
requerimientos technical and to carry out an environmental study of
impact; and in the following year the construction would be done
exactly.
INE WILL REVISE NORMS
This it is a
project that trasegará flammable among a port of the Caribe
—possibly Monkey Point— and the Pacific, therefore the terminals
built in each side should comply with the requirements of security,
assured Octavio Salinas, executive president of the INE.
It
asserted that various aspects of the request will be studied, the
first one of which will be to determine if Oleoductos Premier of
Nicaragua reúne the international technical norms recognized.
“¿Who is going to operate the system? Is people with
experience? We want to see that. They have the financial endorsement
and that they do not leave the tubing to middle to finish because do
not have money? That it is what we go to chequear to protect the
interests of Nicaragua, but without being obstacle”, said Salinas.
Besides they ask that be complied with the normative
environmental established by Marena. However, once it obtained the
license, the business solicitante should also be slope of some
“details”, as obtaining a right of way, to determine with Catastro
why lands pass, at the same time to obtain permission of the owners
of said properties. Then the process of construction.
