The Minister of Energy and Mines, Oscar Vera, announced the reactivation of the North Peruvian Pipeline (ONP)which had been closed since February 2022, the date on which attacks against this National Critical Asset (ACN) also multiplied.
During the last conference of the Council of Ministers, the head of the Minem confirmed the information advanced in an interview with the The Republic newspaper on April 5, in which he recognized the importance of rehabilitating the branch that will make it possible to take advantage of the production of Block 192.
“Thanks to the communications we are having with the different communities, after 400 days the pumping in the North Peruvian Pipeline was restarted, an important activity because it allows us to bring the oil produced in the jungle to the coast,” said Vera Gargurevich.
In this sense, he recalled that the transit of heavy crude from the jungle, through the ONP, is vital for its distillation together with the light variety emanating from the Talara batches, which will be reverted to Petroperú in the coming months.
“The high-conversion fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) and Flexicoking (FCK) units are starting up, with which the process will end in May. We are at a different and very favorable stage for all of us in terms of production,” said the minister. .
