en.Wedoany.com Reported - The national government led by Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa, through Petroecuador and its contractors, created 36,983 local jobs in the provinces of Orellana and Sucumbíos between November 2023 and the first quarter of 2026, achieving a local Amazonian workforce participation rate of 82.44%, exceeding the hiring quota established by the Organic Law for the Comprehensive Planning of the Special Amazonian Territorial District (Ley Orgánica para la Planificación Integral de la Circunscripción Territorial Especial Amazónica).

These positions are primarily concentrated in operations, maintenance, logistics, transportation, catering, infrastructure, and auxiliary services related to hydrocarbon exploration and production. The inclusion of local workers ensures that most of the resources generated by the oil industry remain within the communities, driving local economic development.

Petroecuador General Manager Sebastián Maag Pardo stated that creating local employment is one of the main benefits of oil activities for the Amazon region. He noted that, in line with the guidelines of the central government, the priority is to provide job opportunities to communities near the operations.

Compliance with the hiring quota stipulated by the Amazon Law reflects the company's commitment to greater community participation in the industry's development. Currently, Petroecuador operates 25 oil blocks and is responsible for 80% of the country's production of crude oil equivalent (including oil and natural gas).
