Supervision, enforcement and inspections

Osinergmin’s functions and powers are in regards to supervising the safety of infrastructure in the energy and mining sectors. As the supervision of environmental and labour issues is now the responsibility of OEFA and SUNAFIL, respectively, Osinergmin does not hold powers in these two areas.

In the hydrocarbons sector, Osinergmin supervises upstream activities related to the production and processing of oil and gas. For instance, natural gas activities include exploration, production and processing. The compliance with safety and technical standards for companies transporting natural gas is also supervised since 2018.1 They also supervise the sole contract and concession for natural gas (Camisea to Ica and Lima). In downstream energy markets, Osinergmin supervises the compliance with safety and technical standards storage of liquid petroleum gas (LPG).

In the mining sector, Osinergmin is responsible for ensuring that mining companies comply with safety norms for infrastructure, installations and the safety management of operations. For instance, inspections look at the state of geo-technical, ventilation and transport appliances.

In 2017, Osinergmin registered about 49 000 entities to be supervised. During this year, 40 663 actions were carried out to supervise the technical and legal aspects (see Table ‎2.1). This resulted in 1 844 sanctioning procedures being initiated. Sanctions include inter alia fines, suspension and/or cancellation of authorisation for operation.
