Three Blocks in Piura, Peru, Produce Over 15,000 Barrels of Crude Oil Daily, Consolidating Its Strategic Energy Position

en.Wedoany.com Reported - According to Perupetro statistics, the highest-producing oil blocks in Peru in May 2026 were concentrated in the northwest, with the Piura region remaining one of the country's most important oil and gas producing areas. This landscape underscores the role of the Talara Basin as a strategic asset for national energy supply, with local production also driving the adoption of new technologies and improvements in operational efficiency. The participation of operators such as OIG Perú, UNNA Energía, and Petroperú keeps this region dominant in Peru's oil landscape.

Block X (Lote X) in the Talara province, operated by OIG Perú, produces 8,342 barrels of crude oil per day and is considered one of the most important fields in the basin, ranking among Peru's largest crude oil producers. The new development phase of this block includes an investment plan focused on enhancing reserve recovery, maintaining production levels, and extending the reservoir's productive life, making Talara a core hub for the domestic oil and gas industry.

UNNA Energía operates Blocks III and IV (Lotes III y IV) in Piura. According to Perupetro's May 2026 statistics, these two assets together produce 4,539 barrels of crude oil per day, placing the company among Peru's leading crude oil producers.

Block Z-69 (Lote Z-69), located along the coast of the Talara, Paita, and Sechura provinces and held by Petroperú, is another asset critical to Piura's energy future. In addition to oil production, this block also produces natural gas, with an average certified output of 3,022 barrels of oil per day and 8.5 million cubic feet of natural gas per day in December 2025, making it a key pillar of energy security on Peru's northern coast.

In this context, Prensa Grupo will host PERÚ ENERGÍA Norte 2026, bringing together national representatives, oil companies, power utilities, investors, and experts to analyze the current state and future of energy in northern Peru. The conference is scheduled for October 15–16 at the Costa del Sol hotel in Piura, with an agenda covering the main challenges of the oil and gas industry, regional power development, investment opportunities, energy infrastructure, and the region's role in the transition toward a more competitive and sustainable energy mix.

Miluska Acevedo, General Manager of Prensa Grupo, the event organizer, stated that Piura is one of the regions with the greatest energy tradition and potential in Peru, and the output of its key blocks demonstrates that the northwest remains a strategically important area for national energy security and attracting new investment. Prensa Grupo hopes PERÚ ENERGÍA Norte will serve as a space for dialogue among authorities, companies, and experts to explore how to drive energy development in the region and turn its resources into opportunities for the country.
