| The following are some of the over 330 projects
so far executed:
Exploration Well Environmental Impact Assessment and Compliance
Monitoring in a Protected Area. A project for Empresa Petrolera
CHACO S.A. (BP AMOCO), we developed the EIA for the drilling of
the Ustarez X-1 exploration well located in the heart of the Kaa
Iya National Park near the Paraguayan border, and executed the
permanent monitoring or supervision of environmental considerations
during the its execution phase.
Baseline Audit for Environmental Liabilities from Past Mining
Operations. Including the drilling of drill holes at large
tailings ponds, we developed a complete analysis of mining environmental
liabilities generated from mines operated for centuries, and provided
remediation alternatives that are now being implemented. This
work was executed for the Bolivian Mining Corporation (COMIBOL

Brazilian Border. Developed for DUKE Energy and Corani S.A.,
we delivered a study for the plant located in an ecologically
sensitive area as well as power lines to neighboring Brazil.
Environmental Audit of a Gas Exploration Well Explosion. Executed
for the Ministry of Sustainable Development, we developed this

we evaluated the environmental performance of a Bolivian textile
corporation, reccomending mitigation measures on wastewater and
others, being currently implemented.
