The show is organized by Campetrol, the association of petroleum services companies (long name in English: Colombian Chamber of Petroleum Goods and Services) and runs from today through this coming Friday November 2, 2012.
The main event is a trade show with over 170 exhibitors, an increase of 30% over the previous edition in 2010 (as reported by the web page Globedia here). The US is the invited country and organizers expected at least 15 companies from that country to attend. There are at least 37 Canadian countries in attendance. All members of the industry were welcomed to participate with stands but the emphasis in the show is on services companies.
