 This working paper explores the transformation of Peru’s oil and gas sector from an industry in decline to a major contributor to economic growth in Peru. It begins with a brief history of oil and gas in Peru, including the important hydrocarbon reforms of the early 1990s and the development of the Camisea natural gas fields. The paper then focuses on the benefits of natural gas to Peru and the need to balance oil and gas development with environmental and social protections. Finally, the paper makes several recommendations based on Peru’s experience but intended for broader hemispheric consideration. These recommendations are drawn in part from a high-level meeting the Americas Society/Council of the Americas Energy Action Group held in Lima, Peru, on November 2, 2009. The meeting brought together senior representatives from the public and private sectors for a discussion of energy and climate issues in Peru and the Andean region.

Briefly, the recommendations are as follows:

The Americas Society/Council of the Americas Energy Action Group brings together the public and private sectors to develop strategic energy policies for the Americas. The EAG hosts forums in cities across the Americas and publishes working papers and recommendations on key energy and climate topics.
