The economist Roger Grandez analyzed the financial balance of Petroperú, which registers a loss of more than 278 million soles.
“To operate Block 192, Petroperú needs a fairly large financial scale and a partner to support it,” he said.
For Grandez, the situation is aggravated considering the liabilities compared to what may happen in the coming months with the start of operations at 100%. This is associated with the recent resignation of Carlos Vives Suárez as Chairman of the Board and the appointment of Pedro Chira.
“There is a financial burden to recover this critical asset in order for the refinery to become profitable. Loreto’s oil has a future value and in 30 years it will make it profitable, which is more or less 9 billion dollars within the reserve that Block 192 has”, he said.
Operating this lot requires one billion dollars, of this amount, between 250 to 300 million dollars is to rearm its critical asset that has been deteriorating since 2020 and is not operating.
“The expectation that Block 192 will produce once more this year is not possible, with respect to what the communities expect in the generation of labor and agreements, in addition to generating inefficiency in the Pipeline,” he said.
