Oil sector projects

Oil Sector
Ecuador strives to efficiently exploit its energy resources
by promoting the exploration of new oil and gas fields,
as well as investment in the refining of crude oil with
the objective of guaranteeing autonomy in the consumption of derivatives.
The Ecuadorian State fosters private participation in oil
exploration and extraction through concessions, under
a services modality with the payment of an agreed fee
during a certain period of time, thus ensuring return for
the investor, regardless of oil prices fluctuation.
In this new edition of the Investment Catalogue in
Strategic Sectors, we are presenting 21 major projects
in the oil sector, 17 of them focused on the exploration and extraction of exploration blocks. The rest of
projects are focused on transportation (oil and multipurpose pipelines) and infrastructure projects.
Similar systems can be used for oil transportation
through the payment of a fee for a certain period of
time, after which investment is returned to the State.
We have considered two main ways to participate in
these projects:
OIL
1.Direct investment.
2.Strategic public-private alliances.

Bioenergetic sector
In Ecuador, regulatory frameworks have been established for biofuels, which include reference objectives
for their combination with fossil fuels. Various types
of incentives are also provided to support biofuel
industries. These measures are expected to stimulate
a sustained offer of biofuels in the coming years.
The growing environmental concerns, especially with
regard to greenhouse gases emissions and health
considerations, are forcing the search for new energy
sources and alternative ways to promote the global
automotive fleet. Domestically produced biofuels are
expected to constitute a promising alternative.
The current biofuel demand in Ecuador is as follows:
1.Bioethanol for a E10 combination: 360 MM liters/
year
2.Biomass for the industrial sector: 658 MMT/year
Security is offered to investors who want to invest in
bioenergetic projects through investment contracts
and trade contracts. .
Participation in these projects has been defined
through:
1.Private Direct Investment
In this new edition of the Catalogue of Projects of
Strategic Sectors we present 2 Bioenergy projects.

which implies generating expensive and polluting energy in this
sector.
There is a potential demand of 658
thousand metric tons of biomass/
year for the industrial sector.
✓Therefore, it is necessary to replace the use of fossil fuels for
power generation in the industries with another alternative that
involves the use of renewable energy with biomass.
✓Biomass must be of pellets type
for efficient transportation and

Electric Sector
The Ecuadorian electric sector is made up by legal
entities engaged in activities of electric generation,
transmission, distribution, marketing and provision to
the general public.
The Organic Law of Electric Energy Public Service of
2015 manifests that the State, through the Ministry
of Electricity and Renewable Energy, could delegate,
exceptionally, to private equity companies and companies of popular and solidary economy, participation
in activities of the electric sector.
Electricity generation is carried out by state-owned,
mixed economy and private companies (the latter
through concessions for certain time after which
investment returns to the State). The activity of electricity transmission at national level is performed by
the State, and private participation could take place
under a service delivery model through the payment of
a fee. The electricity distribution and commercialization
system is managed through local public companies
that have been assigned geographic concession areas.
Increasing electric coverage, ensuring reliability, quality
of supply and self-sufficiency, promoting efficient and
rational use of energy and promoting regional energetic
integration, are some of the goals that Ecuador is trying
to achieve through the formulation and promotion of
effective policies of the electric sector and through
projects management.
In this new edition of the Investment Catalogue
in Strategic Sectors, we present 13 infrastructure
projects for electric generation. 11 of them are focused
on hydroelectric generation projects and the other 2 in
geothermal generation projects.
Two main ways to participate in these projects have
been considered:
1. Direct investment
2. Strategic public-private partnerships

Water Sector
The adequate availability and quality of water is crucial
for national development, and a necessary condition
to maintain the population in good health and welfare
conditions. Therefore, the supply and provision of
water to meet the demand of 14 million of Ecuadorians
is an imperative priority for the Government of the Citizen’s Revolution.
Policies have been implemented based on planning
by hydrographic basins and enable controlling and
managing in a decentralized manner, the conservation
and protection of water resources
In this new edition of the Investment Catalogue in
Strategic Sectors we are presenting 3 multipurpose
water infrastructure projects that have been prioritized
for the exploitation of water resources with a comprehensive management approach. The implementation
of the following projects: Tumbabiro, Tahuín, and Intervention, expansion and construction of the Hydraulic
Plan of Santa Elena Aqueduct, guarantees the provision of water, which is a driving force for the life and
development of Ecuador.
These 3 large multipurpose projects, with an investment
of 727 million dollars, will enable to regulate water
resources and to ensure the availability and supply
of water for communities and socio-economic stakeholders that are pillars of the economic development,
and to change the productive matrix. Eventually,
600,000 Ecuadorians will be directly benefited, 66,574
hectares will receive irrigation water, and 2.3 MW will
be available for power generation.

Telecommunications Sector
Telecommunications and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are essential to develop
quality services and products in the economy, as well
as to change the Productive Matrix.
In order to make that ICTs become a hub of Ecuadorian economic development, Ecuador has made the
decision to prioritize the development of technological
skills and capacities of individuals, companies and
institutions, and to provide all Ecuadorians with internet
connectivity, regardless of their socioeconomic level.
Taken these priorities in mind, the deployment of telecommunications infrastructure, ICTs incorporation in all
companies, the use of internet by individuals and digitalization both in public and private sectors, are fun-
damental to encourage public and private investment
to contribute in the development of an economy of
knowledge, people-centered, inclusive and integrative.
In order to achieve these goals, public policies seek to
create a suitable environment where all stakeholders
of this sector converge to improve the capacities of
citizens, investments, research, provision of services,
and care provided to marginalized sectors, so that the
quality of Ecuadorian’s life improves through ICTs.

TECHNICAL DEFINITIONS
MINING
• Prospection studies: Consist of field inspections
in extensive areas, in which the following activities
are conducted:
−Geochemistry of sediments (taking samples in
ravines and rivers).
−Geochemistry of rocks, taking samples to
determine the existence of minerals of economic
interest.
−Geochemistry of soils, which is carried out in
places where relevant results have been obtained
both in the geochemistry of sediments and in the
geochemistry of rocks.
−Geophysical Survey (non-destructive studies that
measure the electrical current, magnetism or
gravity of the earth’s crust); this is done in sectors
or areas where soils the geochemical study of the
soil yielded positive results.
• Exploration Studies: These studies are conducted
in areas where prospection studies yielded positive
results in the definition of an area with geological
potential for the presence of minerals of economic
interest.
−Consists in drilling at different depths with
recovery of core samples (rock samples from
within the depths of the earth).
−Exploration studies may consist of several
phases, depending on the results of each one of
them. For example: initial exploration, advanced
exploration, etc.
• Epithermal deposits: These deposits are characterized by a polymetallic mineralization that takes
place within 1 and 2 km depth from the earth
surface, which are formed by hot hydrothermal
fluids.
• Porphyry: This is a type of magmatic mineralization
of low grade, high tonnage and irregular shape.
• Inferred resources: These are resources whose
existence has been proven but whose magnitudes,
in terms of volume, as well as their mineralogical
characteristics are not known with complete precision, so some of their dimensions or known geological characteristics are inferred.
• Measured resources: These are resources whose
existence has been demonstrated by geological
studies that have enabled to measure their main
dimensions, as well as the characteristics and laws
of the mineral or mineralized bodies.
124
• Stripping ratio: This is a ratio that matches the
amount of sterile material that will have to be
removed in order to get a ton of usable material.
PROJECTS IN GENERAL
• Basic studies: These studies are a simplified
description of a project, they also define the
purpose and relevance of the project, presenting
a first estimate of the activities and of the total
investment that will be required, as well as annual
operational costs and, in the case of projects
aimed to generate income, it takes into account
the annual income and technical feasibility of alternative solutions, discarding those that are not technically feasible.
• Pre-feasibility: It is a study of preliminary
assessment to determine the alternatives of an
investment project in terms of technical, financial,
economic, environmental, social and institutional
viability.
• Feasibility: Considering the alternatives of the
pre-feasibility study, the final viability is determined
and the best alternative is chosen, based on which
a study including complete technical, financial,
environmental, institutional and economic evaluations of the project is carried out. The feasibility
phase leads to take a definitive decision regarding
the project implementation.
• Basic engineering: Once feasibility has been
approved and the decision to implement the project
has been taken, the project conceptual design is
prepared where the technical requirements that the
project needs are established. In this stage costs
are fine-tuned and the implementation plan of the
investment project is prepared.
• Plant factor: This factor is also called net capacity
factor or load factor of an electric plant. The plant
factor is the ratio between the actual power generated by the electric plant during a period (usually
a year), and the energy that could have been generated if the plant had worked at full load during the
same period, according to the nominal values of
the equipment identification plates. This is an indication of the use of plant capacity over time.
