She explained that they are working in conjunction with other entities and agencies to ensure the protection and care of the environment.

Raúl Pérez de Prado, director of the CUPET oil enterprise, said that they are working in exploration, drilling and exploitation of new wells, with technologies used in developed countries.

Perez de Prado highlighted that they are that paving the way for making better use of domestic products, which used to be wasted, based on the use of secondary recovery techniques.

The use of science and technology is fundamental to the industry, as well as the preparation of the staff assuming this task, given the high complexity and responsibility that the men have in the management of technology, he said.
