Sociedad Peruana de Hidrocarburos

What Sociedad Peruana de Hidrocarburos does

Sociedad Peruana de Hidrocarburos (SPH) is a private, non-profit industry association (gremio) headquartered in San Isidro, Lima, Peru, that represents companies engaged in the exploration, exploitation, transportation, and commercialization of oil, gas, and related hydrocarbon products. Founded in 2013, SPH brings together 11 of Peru's principal hydrocarbon operators and service providers, including Cálidda, Pluspetrol, Transportadora de Gas del Perú (TGP), Repsol, PetroTal, Promigas, Hunt Oil, Anadarko, Aguaytia, Kallpa, Confipetrol, and Towers Consulting/IDOM. The association's core function is collective representation: it acts as the unified voice of the Peruvian hydrocarbons industry before civil society, the press, and government authorities, and maintains direct working relationships with the Ministry of Energy and Mines and other sector regulators to influence energy policy, regulatory clarity, and sector development.

SPH's product surface is informational and advocacy-oriented rather than technological. It publishes a monthly statistical bulletin covering oil, gas, canon, royalties, and drilled wells; maintains an interactive Mapa de Lotes (Lot Map) showing Peru's 18 sedimentary basins (8 offshore, 10 onshore); operates a press room with releases, infographics, and interviews; and runs sustainability, energy-transition, and community-relations programs. The association's revenue model is recurring membership dues paid by its enterprise member companies; specific pricing tiers are not publicly disclosed. Distribution and engagement are executed through the SPH website, social media channels, partnerships with training institutions (FRI ESAN, GERENS, SENATI), conservation partnerships (ARBIO Perú), and industry events such as PERÚ Energía Norte and PERÚ Energía Sur. The association is led by President Felipe Cantuarias Salaverry, Executive Director Patricia Figueroa (appointed May 2026), and General Manager Tiffany Bayly, with a small staff of 11–50 employees.

Direct peers

• Asociación Mexicana de Empresas de Hidrocarburos (AMEH): AMEH is the Mexican association of hydrocarbon companies, representing upstream and midstream operators in a Latin American regulatory environment. It mirrors SPH's role as a unified industry voice before government for exploration, exploitation, transportation, and commercialization activities.
• Asociación Argentina de Petróleo y Gas (AAPG): AAPG is the Argentine oil and gas trade association representing exploration and production companies, including conventional and unconventional (Vaca Muerta) operators. It is a direct functional peer to SPH, representing the Argentine hydrocarbons industry before government and the public.
• Instituto Brasileiro de Petróleo e Gás (IBP): IBP is the Brazilian petroleum and gas institute, a non-profit association serving operators and service providers across the value chain. It is closely comparable to SPH in mission and structure, though it operates in a much larger and more developed hydrocarbons market.
• ARPEL (Asociación Regional de Empresas de Petróleo y Gas Natural en Latinoamérica y el Caribe): ARPEL is a regional Latin American oil and gas industry association with members across the value chain. It is directly comparable to SPH as a peer association, though operating regionally rather than at single-country level, and it often co-advocates with national bodies like SPH on energy policy and sustainability.
• Cámara Colombiana de Petróleo y Gas (Campetrol): Campetrol is the Colombian petroleum and gas industry chamber representing exploration, production, and service companies. It is the closest geographic and structural analog to SPH, serving a similar Andean hydrocarbons sector with comparable advocacy, statistics, and sustainability programs.

Broad incumbents

• International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP): IOGP is the global upstream industry association representing oil and gas producers on operational, safety, and environmental standards. Comparable to SPH as an industry association focused on upstream advocacy and best practices, though IOGP operates globally and is dominated by majors.
• Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP): CAPP is the Canadian upstream oil and gas association, providing policy advocacy, economic reporting, and environmental performance tracking. It is a scaled North American analog to SPH, with similar functions (advocacy, statistics, sustainability) but operating in a far more developed and diversified market.
• American Petroleum Institute (API): API is the largest U.S. oil and gas trade association, providing regulatory advocacy, standards, and statistical reporting for its member companies. It is directly comparable to SPH as a national hydrocarbons industry association, though it operates at a much larger scale and represents a more mature, diversified upstream-to-downstream membership.

Others

• Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE): SPE is a global professional society for oil and gas technical professionals, offering training, publications, and events. While not a corporate trade association, it is thematically related to SPH's educational partnerships (FRI ESAN, GERENS, SENATI) and engages overlapping stakeholders in the hydrocarbons workforce.
• World Petroleum Council (WPC): WPC is a global oil and gas industry forum promoting dialogue on energy, sustainability, and technology. It is thematically adjacent to SPH as an international hydrocarbons platform, with shared focus on sustainable development and policy advocacy, though it operates at the global rather than Peruvian level.
