(Energy Analytics Institute, Ian Silverman, 11.Feb.2019) — Peru’s Norperuano Pipeline (ONP by is Spanish acronym) has been halted by new sabotage related to the capture of strategic facilities (stations 1 and 5) by natives, reported online media El Comercio.
As a result, Peru’s domestic oil production has fallen by an average 10,000 barrels per day (b/d) in previous months to 37,000 b/d, its lowest level in five decades, reported the media, citing data from Peru-Petro.
Peru-Petro announced that the pipeline issue is the main barrier against its optimistic projection of reaching 100,000 b/d of oil production by 2023.
