YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Managing import exposure across Chile’s fuel supply chain
- Chile imports more than 95% of the crude processed by its refineries, leaving fuel margins exposed to global prices, freight costs and exchange-rate swings.
- Against this exposure, YCP maps supply risks, optimizes sourcing and inventory policies, and designs resilient procurement strategies that protect service and margins.
Raising reliability in a concentrated refining system
- Chile’s two main refineries have combined capacity of about 220,000 barrels a day, so maintenance outages can quickly increase reliance on imported products.
- To limit this impact, YCP prioritizes reliability investments, improves turnaround planning and aligns asset, logistics and contingency plans with demand.
Finding growth as Chile’s energy mix shifts rapidly
- Renewables generated about 68% of Chile’s electricity in 2024, accelerating electrification and increasing pressure on oil and gas players to redefine demand.
- In this transition, YCP evaluates resilient demand pools, gas and low-carbon adjacencies, and investment pathways that balance returns with transition risk.
Building project acceptance under stricter climate rules
- Chile is targeting carbon neutrality by 2050; hydrocarbon projects therefore face closer emissions, water-use and community scrutiny throughout approval.
- With these expectations rising, YCP integrates regulatory strategy, stakeholder mapping and decarbonization roadmaps to improve project readiness and credibility.
