Petroperú to focus on 4 priority projects

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and constant social problems Peru’s hydrocarbons sector confronts have not stopped state-owned oil company Petroperús plans. During the Mining Competitiveness and Social Sustainability Congress, organized by the Institute of Mining Engineers, Petroperú CEO Carlos Barrientos said the company will prioritize the modernization of the Talara refinery, the expansion of the Ilo fuel terminal and of oil blocks 64 and 192. According to Barrientos, a US$1bn investment is expected for Talara in 2021 while 368mn soles (US$102mn) are earmarked for the Norperuano pipeline and 27.5mn soles for blocks 64 and 192. Next year, Petroperú hopes to find operating partners for the two blocks. Barrientos also said the company will soon launch a bidding process to select a company to complete the Ilo terminal, which should be finished by the end of 2021. Modernization of the refinery is over 90% complete and will be ready in 4Q21. Capacity will increase from 65,000b/d to 95,000b/d. The executive added that the hydrocarbon sector still has many challenges to face regarding the crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which for the state oil company has implied a reduction in operating expenses of more than US$100mn and a prioritization of more than US$280mn in capex.
