Overview
- In Communiqué No. 040-2025, Petroperú said a second call will open in the second half of November and must conclude in the third week of December without extensions.
- The initial Proceso por Competencia Internacional drew five proposals; four were disqualified in the technical review and the remaining offer surpassed the Monto Estimado Referencial by 17%.
- The transformation mandate stems from Emergency Decree No. 013-2024, which requires experience in debt restructuring, creditor negotiations, operational turnaround and governance reform under MEF and MINEM oversight.
- Reporting indicates the Arthur D. Little–DLA Piper consortium was the only bidder to reach the economic evaluation before being rejected for price, a detail the company has not officially named.
- Sector sources warn that fiscal uncertainty and unresolved governance issues, including a contested board removal, could deter international participation and strain the tight year-end timetable.
