Attacks Continue on Peru's ONP Oil Pipeline

January 6, 2023--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--PetroPeru reported three new attacks on Section I of the Oleoducto Norperuano (ONP) pipeline in the last week. Attacks on the ONP are not uncommon: From December 2021 until January this year, there have been at least 15 attacks, leading to more than 50 cuts on the pipeline. Most of these incidents have occurred in Section I. The ONP is Peru's main oil pipeline, transporting oil from the remote northeastern Amazonian oil fields to the Bayovar terminal on the Pacific coast. Parts of Section I of the pipeline, where these three attacks occurred, have been shut down since February.
