QUITO, Dec 22 (Reuters) - Ecuador's procurator said on Friday the country has won an international arbitration and will not be liable to pay $198 million to engineering firm Worley International Services (WOR) over oil project contracts.
The company sued Ecuador in 2019 over alleged missing payments from contracts with state-run Petroecuador connected to the renovation of the Esmeraldas refinery and other gas projects.
The three international arbiters found in favor of Ecuador, the procurator said in a statement.
"The tribunal accepted the arguments made by the republic of Ecuador and rejected the aspirations of WorleyParsons," the statement said, using a previous name for the Australia-headquartered company.
Worley will be obliged to pay Ecuador's fees and costs for the arbitration process, the statement added.
Worley did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The ruling comes as the South American country faces liquidity problems and a likely deficit for the year of some $5.7 billion.
