Peru's Camisea Consortium announced Wednesday that royalty payments to Peruvian State from natural gas operations amounted to US$455.4 million as of September 2015.
The result means an increase taking into account the enterprise paid US$419.9 million up to August.
These resources are distributed according to the current Canon Law, corresponding to the regional government of Cusco and Municipal governments about 50 percent of the amount; that is, US$ 17.75 million in September.
Since the project was started in 2004, Peru-based consortium Camisea has paid the Peruvian government US$7.697 billion in royalties.
The Camisea fields, located in the southern region of Cusco, hold some of Latin America's largest natural gas reserves.
