Petroperú reports $600 million profit and strategic oil sector shifts

Petroperú Lote 192 oil production energy investment Peru economy

Peru’s state oil company, Petroperú, has reported a positive EBITDA of $600 million for 2026, signaling a recovery from previous financial crises and significant losses. This turnaround follows state-led financial rescues and the management of a $2 billion international credit line to secure fuel supplies in the Amazon region.

In a move to boost production, the Peruvian government authorized Petroloreto S.A.C., a subsidiary of Cheiron Holdings Egypt Limited, to become a strategic partner in Lote 192. Petroloreto will assume a 75% stake and operational control of the Loreto-based field for the next 27 years, while Petroperú retains 25%. This partnership requires a minimum investment of $230 million to rehabilitate infrastructure and reactivate wells.

Additionally, Petroperú projects annual savings of up to $180 million by purchasing crude oil directly from Ecuador. This strategy aims to reduce acquisition and transport costs for the Talara Refinery, with deliveries expected between November 2026 and September 2027. Meanwhile, SPT Energy Group has been awarded the license for Lote 207 in the Talara Basin, committing approximately $400 million in investment over the first decade.
