Abstract
This study assesses the natural gas
market in Peru. In the process of evaluating the downstream
market, the study identifies opportunities for meeting the
Government s aspirational goals with respect to energy and
natural gas development, including the efficient use of
natural gas in the power and other sectors, strengthening
and coordinating national energy planning for the gas
sector, infrastructure development and prospects for
decentralization of the natural gas market in Peru, and the
potential of natural gas pricing reforms for the promotion
of hydroelectricity and other renewable energy sources. This
report is divided into five chapters. Chapter I describes
the context in which this study was prepared. Chapter II
presents a history of the natural gas sector and the
Government of Peru s policy objectives to increase the use
of natural gas in the domestic economy. Chapter III presents
potential new markets for natural gas within the present
context of the natural gas industry and the Peruvian
economy. Chapter IV describes findings, issues, and options
for improving Peru s downstream natural gas sector,
including a discussion of the consistency between the
Government s objectives and its policies for the sector.
Chapter V sets out the conclusions of the study.
