In terms of natural gas, production increased during the analyzed month, rising from 787 million cubic feet per day (MMCFD) in April 2026 to 1.487 billion cubic feet per day in May. This represents a 14% increase compared to the same period last year. In this context, the blocks with the largest production growth are: Block 88 in Cusco (838 million cubic feet per day), Block 56 (350 million cubic feet per day), and Block 57 (230 million cubic feet per day).
