The Talara Refinery (Spanish: Refinería de Talara) is an oil refinery in Pariñas, Talara, Piura, Peru that belongs to the state company Petroperú.
Its origin lies in the first crude oil refinery in Peru in 1917, with an initial capacity of 10,000 barrels per day, by the International Petroleum Company (IPC). Since 2014, the complex began a renovation process, with many new plants under construction, with emphasis on deep conversion units and hydrotreatment of refined products.
