Significant oil field discoveries in the Andes of South America include six giant oil/gas fields: Cano-Limon, Cusiana, Capiagua, and Volcanera in the Llanos basin, and others in the Marafion and Sub-Andean basins. Notable historical discoveries include the oil fields of Lago Agrio, Charapa, and Bermejo Norte in 1967, followed by Bermejo Sur, Parahuacu, and Atacapi in 1968. The first oil well in Peru was drilled in the Talara basin in 1863. These discoveries have had substantial impacts on the economies and geopolitics of the region.
