The New Talara Refinery (NRT) has been processing more than 90 thousand barrels of oil per day, thus consolidating itself as a strategic pillar for the country's energy supply.

This was confirmed today by the president of Petroperú, Alejandro Narváez Liceras, after concluding a decentralized board meeting of the company held at the industrial complex.

NRT is currently in the integrated operational optimization stage, with all its units producing fuels in specification, such as gasoline, diesel, LPG and Turbo A-1, to meet the demand of the national market.

During the visit, the officials toured the Control Room and the various process units that are in the optimization stage, including the Flexicoking Unit, an innovative technology present in only eight refineries worldwide and which makes the plant more efficient.

Narváez Liceras highlighted the work now being carried out by the company's new management, which will place emphasis on optimising NRT costs, as a strategic operation of Petroperú, with profitability, efficiency and fulfilling its role of supplying high-quality fuel at competitive prices to the country.

In this regard, he reaffirmed his commitment to the recovery of the state oil company. This administration will work to improve operational processes and optimize the capacities of all units, consolidating Petroperú as an integrated and competitive company in the national market. “Our market share will increase progressively, reaching 38% by 2025,” he said.

Export of electric energy

Talara Operations Manager Arturo Rodríguez Paredes reported that, since November 2024, the NRT began exporting electric energy to the National Interconnected Electric System (COES). This has positioned the NRT among the 50 most efficient facilities in the system.

He also highlighted that NRT has recently implemented the Process Safety Management System (PSM), becoming one of the first companies in the country to adopt this international standard, which reinforces its commitment to safety and operational excellence.
