The first contract the advance sale of crude between Petroecuador and PetroChina International Co. Ltd. is part of the Mossack Fonseca files, whose filtration is included in the Panama Papers. PetroChina advanced $ 1,000 million to Ecuador in a two years term and at a 7.25% annual interest.
According to the General Comptroller´s report DA3-0015-2012, sent to Petroecuador in March 2013, in this contract, the state oil company stopped receiving at least $ 34.45 million, due to the formula applied to determine the barrel price.
