Upstream hydrocarbon investment in Peru totaled US $99.4 million in 2025, compared to the previous year. Upstream exploration remains minimal, however, which shows an investment standstill. The Peruvian government extended a tax refund benefit for exploration inputs through 2027 to provide relief for high-risk investments. There are also regulatory reforms underway with PeruPetro refining licensing

Increased storms and floods in Venezuela impact the power transmission and distribution infrastructure. The country is heavily dependent on hydropower and oil production to meet the energy demands. Hydroelectric power production is vulnerable to extreme weather events like floods and tropical storms. These disasters disrupt electricity generation, damage infrastructure, and worsen the country’s ongoing energy

Venezuela has large and untapped natural gas resources and has taken initial steps in developing and exporting natural gas. Use of natural gas helps in energy mix diversification and enhances global markets to improve supply security. However, natural gas is still underdeveloped and inefficient due to infrastructural challenges and underinvestment. Additionally, about 90% of Venezuela’s

Venezuela often experiences shifts in its energy landscapes due to political, economic, and infrastructural challenges. The country holds the largest proven oil reserves, providing over 300 billion barrels. Crude oil output has dropped from over 3 million barrels a day to under 800,000 barrels a day. This stems from underinvestment, sanctions, and aging infrastructure. PDVSA,

With the frequent blackouts in Venezuela, households and industries are increasingly using thermoelectric generators for sustainability. The use of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) running on fossil fuels impacts the energy sector in various ways. Its widespread use raises domestic consumption of fossil fuels that strains the already declining oil production. Venezuela relies on oil exports for

Venezuela and Brazil both have significant energy resources in oil reserves, hydropower, solar, wind, and biofuels. Recently, Brazil resumed imports of electricians from Venezuela to supply the northern state of Roraima after six years. This measure was to reduce costs and diversify energy supplies for consumers. Currently, there is no major electricity grid interconnection or

Venezuela relies on oil revenues to import fuel and diluents needed to process heavy crude. In June, the country exported some 844,000 barrels per day of crude fuel, an 8% increase from the previous month. However, the termination of U.S. licenses allows partners like Chevron and Repsol to trade Venezuelan crude. This results in significant

The aging infrastructure in Venezuela exposes the country to frequent blackouts and power crises. The power crisis also arises from the dependence on hydropower, which accounts for 60% of the total electricity supply. Hydroelectric power output has dropped by 40% since 2020 due to prolonged drought and infrastructure decay. This also demands increased investments in
