Peru

Country Analysis Brief ›

Peru is a net oil importer and natural gas exporter.
Peru is currently a net oil importer and a natural gas exporter, but rising exploration and development may lead to increased production and exports of both oil and gas in the next few years.
Despite a decline in crude oil production, Peru's total oil liquids output has increased in recent years as a result of the rising production of natural gas liquids.
Peru is self-sufficient in natural gas and began exporting LNG in 2010.
