Written by Amir Richani for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Petroperu said last week that the revamped Talara refinery has started producing low-sulfur gasoline and diesel, with the return to optimal operations later this year.
The nation's new president, Dina Boluarte, visited the 95,000-barrel-per-day (BBL/d) Talara refinery to see the first production of fuel from the refinery, Petroperu reported on February 2.
The refinery has undergone years of refurbishments that have expanded its capacity by 30,000 BBL/d and allow it to produce cleaner fuels to meet domestic demand.
Over the last few months, the refinery has gradually started its operations with the goal of reaching full capacity in March or April this year, according to Petroperu. So far, refining components such as Talara's primary distillation unit and the vacuum distillation unit have restarted operations, while other equipment has yet to be tested.

Peru has two big refineries, the 117,000-BBL/d Pampilla refinery and Talara. Peru also has smaller operating refineries across the country that have capacities of less than 20,000 BBL/d each.
Meanwhile, Peru closed December with oil production of 40,000 BBL/d, about 6% higher than the previous month. Peru closed last year with an average oil production of 40,600 BBL/d, about 6% higher than the previous year.
