Heavy rain during February and March has caused the Chira River in Block III to rise and flood part of the South Mirador Field. InterOil has therefore decided to shut down parts of the production in Block III. The production is expected to be back to normal soon.
Oil has been sold at average sales price of USD 116.54 in Peru and USD 106.85 in Colombia per barrel during April.
