La investigaci\u00f3n, que se extender\u00e1 hasta marzo de 2027, busca actualizar la base de datos geol\u00f3gica del pa\u00eds.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Santo Domingo.<\/strong> El Gobierno dominicano y la Universidad de Texas en Austin (UT) iniciaron este domingo un proyecto de investigaci\u00f3n para evaluar el potencial de hidrocarburos de las cuencas terrestres y mar\u00edtimas de la Rep\u00fablica Dominicana, una iniciativa que busca fortalecer la base de datos geol\u00f3gica nacional y generar informaci\u00f3n t\u00e9cnica que sirva de apoyo a futuras decisiones de exploraci\u00f3n e inversi\u00f3n en el sector energ\u00e9tico.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

El proyecto, denominado \u201cEvaluaci\u00f3n Regional del Potencial Energ\u00e9tico en Cuencas Sedimentarias Terrestres y Marinas, Rep\u00fablica Dominicana y Mar Caribe Adyacente\u201d<\/strong>, fue puesto en marcha por el Ministerio de Energ\u00eda y Minas junto al Bur\u00f3 de Econom\u00eda Geol\u00f3gica (BEG, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s) de la Universidad de Texas, cuya delegaci\u00f3n est\u00e1 encabezada por el director de la Divisi\u00f3n de Investigaci\u00f3n Energ\u00e9tica, Mark Shuster.<\/p>\n

Durante el acto de apertura, el ministro de Energ\u00eda y Minas, Joel Santos, destac\u00f3 que la iniciativa representa un paso estrat\u00e9gico para fortalecer la seguridad energ\u00e9tica del pa\u00eds y ampliar el conocimiento sobre sus recursos naturales.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEste proyecto es muy importante para la Rep\u00fablica Dominicana por lo que representa para la seguridad energ\u00e9tica, no solamente en la parte de petr\u00f3leo y gas, sino tambi\u00e9n en minerales cr\u00edticos como las tierras raras\u201d, afirm\u00f3 el funcionario.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Santos explic\u00f3 que la investigaci\u00f3n se desarrollar\u00e1 hasta marzo de 2027 y permitir\u00e1 disponer de informaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s precisa sobre el potencial de hidrocarburos del territorio nacional, lo que facilitar\u00e1 evaluar oportunidades de exploraci\u00f3n y explotaci\u00f3n con mayores niveles de certeza.<\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan indic\u00f3, contar con datos cient\u00edficos actualizados tambi\u00e9n contribuir\u00e1 a hacer m\u00e1s competitivo al pa\u00eds para atraer inversi\u00f3n extranjera en el sector energ\u00e9tico.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEs necesario explorar, estudiar y caracterizar todos nuestros recursos para conocer con precisi\u00f3n con qu\u00e9 contamos. A partir de ese conocimiento podremos identificar cu\u00e1les son verdaderamente estrat\u00e9gicos y comprender mejor el contexto geopol\u00edtico actual y el papel que desempe\u00f1an estos recursos a nivel global\u201d, sostuvo.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Por su parte, Mark Shuster expres\u00f3 el inter\u00e9s del Bur\u00f3 de Econom\u00eda Geol\u00f3gica en colaborar con la Rep\u00fablica Dominicana y resalt\u00f3 que el proyecto permitir\u00e1 compartir la experiencia t\u00e9cnica de esa instituci\u00f3n en la evaluaci\u00f3n de recursos energ\u00e9ticos.<\/p>\n

El investigador se\u00f1al\u00f3 que la alianza fortalecer\u00e1 el intercambio de conocimientos, informaci\u00f3n cient\u00edfica y asistencia t\u00e9cnica entre ambas instituciones.<\/p>\n

Shuster explic\u00f3 que el BEG es la unidad de investigaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s antigua de la Universidad de Texas y desarrolla estudios relacionados con petr\u00f3leo, gas natural, recursos geot\u00e9rmicos, minerales, sismolog\u00eda, impacto terrestre, monitoreo geol\u00f3gico e investigaciones sobre nuevas fuentes de energ\u00eda, como el hidr\u00f3geno.<\/p>\n

Como parte de la agenda de trabajo, la misi\u00f3n t\u00e9cnica recibi\u00f3 informaci\u00f3n sobre el proceso de exploraci\u00f3n avanzada de tierras raras que desarrolla el Gobierno en la provincia Pedernales, a trav\u00e9s del Ministerio de Energ\u00eda y Minas y la Empresa Minera Dominicana (Emidom), con el objetivo de determinar el potencial de estos minerales cr\u00edticos en el territorio nacional.<\/p>\n

En la reuni\u00f3n participaron los viceministros de Hidrocarburos, Noel B\u00e1ez, y de Minas, Giovanni Bloise; el director general de Miner\u00eda, Rolando Mu\u00f1oz; el director del Servicio Geol\u00f3gico Nacional, Edwin Garc\u00eda Coco; as\u00ed como Dallas Dulap, director de proyectos del BEG, y los investigadores Timothy Paul y Brent Elliot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
