The report on the research was presented by the president of the Board of Directors of the Petroleum Refinery (Refidomsa), Leonardo Aguilera, together with the technicians of the Oil and Gas Research and Exploration Unit who analyzed the Azua, San Juan, Enriquillo and Cibao basins.

In a press conference, Aguilera emphasized that the results of this exploration will revolutionize the strategy for the location of important oil and natural gas resources, based on geological and geophysical factors that characterize the territory.

“When we say that this is the first study of these dimensions, it is because up to now, the efforts to determine the oil and gas potential and its eventual incursion into production on an important scale, had not been systematized…”, he explained.

Aguilera indicated that the study was carried out in collaboration with the Pedro Henríquez Ureña University (UNPHU) and the University of Santander, Colombia, and the results were endorsed by prestigious laboratories and research centers.
