URBANPETRO INC. ANNOUNCES LONG-TERM BOLIVIA–PARAGUAY ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE VISION FOR 2026–2032
Strategic program aims to strengthen petroleum supply, regional logistics, bulk storage and domestic fuel distribution across Bolivia
SANTA CRUZ, BOLIVIA — August 30, 2026 — UrbanPetro Inc., USA, has announced its long-term strategic vision for the development of an integrated petroleum supply and energy infrastructure platform connecting Bolivia and Paraguay during the proposed 2026–2032 development period.
The initiative is designed to examine and progressively develop a coordinated network covering international petroleum supply, regional transportation, bulk storage, cross-border logistics and domestic distribution.
According to UrbanPetro Inc., the program is intended to contribute to a more connected, resilient and efficient petroleum supply chain while supporting improved fuel accessibility for communities, businesses and productive sectors across Bolivia.
The company emphasizes that the program will be developed through a phased approach, beginning with feasibility assessment, commercial and technical studies, infrastructure planning and stakeholder engagement before individual projects advance toward implementation.
The strategic concept presented by UrbanPetro is consistent with a broader regional movement toward strengthening logistics connectivity and multimodal transportation. In June 2026, Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay highlighted the importance of the Paraguay–Paraná Waterway and public-private cooperation to improve regional competitiveness, reduce logistics costs and strengthen trade connectivity.
A LONG-TERM VISION FOR REGIONAL ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE
UrbanPetro’s proposed 2026–2032 Bolivia–Paraguay Petroleum Infrastructure Development Program is structured around four principal areas:
- International Supply
- Regional Logistics
- Bulk Storage
- Domestic Distribution
The objective is to create an integrated framework in which petroleum products can move more efficiently from international markets through regional logistics corridors and storage facilities before reaching domestic and commercial markets.
The company views this approach as an opportunity to strengthen supply-chain flexibility and create additional logistical options for Bolivia.
The concept presented in UrbanPetro’s project materials specifically identifies La Paz and Santa Cruz as strategic locations for potential storage infrastructure and highlights connectivity with Paraguay as an important component of the regional logistics strategy.
2. REGIONAL LOGISTICS AND CROSS-BORDER CONNECTIVITY
The second pillar of the program focuses on developing efficient transportation corridors between Paraguay and Bolivia.
UrbanPetro proposes to study multimodal transportation solutions incorporating, where commercially and technically appropriate:
- Road transportation
- Tanker truck networks
- Rail connectivity
- River transportation
- Border logistics
- Storage-to-distribution transportation
- Cross-border petroleum product movement
- Strategic logistics hubs
The objective is to create a more coordinated movement of petroleum products between regional supply points and Bolivian markets.
The Paraguay connection is strategically significant because the Paraguay–Paraná Waterway is increasingly being recognized as an important regional trade and logistics corridor. Bolivia’s Foreign Ministry has reported regional efforts involving Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay to improve navigation, infrastructure, trade facilitation and multimodal connectivity along the waterway.
UrbanPetro’s vision is therefore intended to complement broader regional connectivity opportunities while remaining subject to technical feasibility, commercial viability and applicable government approvals.
3. BULK PETROLEUM STORAGE INFRASTRUCTURE
A major component of the proposed program is the development of strategically located petroleum storage capacity.
UrbanPetro’s project concept identifies potential storage infrastructure in:
LA PAZ, BOLIVIA
and
SANTA CRUZ, BOLIVIA
The company’s published project framework identifies an indicative capacity of up to 50,000 metric tonnes per storage facility for designated products, subject to feasibility studies, engineering design, financing, land availability, permitting and final investment decisions.
Potential initial storage products identified include:
- Crude Oil
- Diesel EN 590 – 10 PPM
Strategic storage could provide several potential benefits:
- Increased supply-chain flexibility
- Improved inventory management
- Greater ability to respond to temporary supply disruptions
- Support for regional distribution
- Reduced dependence on immediate product arrivals
- Improved coordination between importation and domestic distribution
- Additional strategic inventory capacity
All proposed capacities and locations should be understood as indicative project targets subject to technical, commercial, environmental and regulatory evaluation.
4. DOMESTIC FUEL DISTRIBUTION
The fourth component of the UrbanPetro vision focuses on improving the distribution of petroleum products inside Bolivia.
The proposed system would examine ways to connect strategic storage facilities with:
- Industrial consumers
- Commercial customers
- Agricultural communities
- Transportation operators
- Mining operations
- Regional distributors
- Rural communities
- Other qualified petroleum-product buyers
The long-term objective is to improve the availability and reliability of petroleum products while developing a more efficient distribution network.
UrbanPetro’s project concept specifically describes the domestic distribution component as an effort to improve fuel availability for communities and businesses.
